Pretty cool car.

I din't realize the 333 e30 was actually a production car. I do remember seeing one parked in DC(near Cactus Cantina) with diplomatic tags back in the 80's - and thought someone was just messing around with the model numbers. I think(?) it was a four door car and was dark green(BRG) in color. It's funny how I can remember that, even now. lol

PS: Another BMW car from the 90's that I had never heard of was the e34 M540i built for Canada. Only 32 were produced. Sorry for the thread jack.

Very cool. I read BMW Car magazine from the UK, they have featured some specials, I seem to recall a 333i and the M3 (E36) they had in SA. Australia has had a couple country specific models.

My good friends mom had this in the early 90's. Mike Tomzack the Qb from the bears imported one and when he sold it, his family bought it (they were business partners).

Such a lovely car and OMG that sound!!! The part where he turned the key and fired it up gave me goosebumps.

As for that M540i, did people complain of badge whoring and diluting the M brand back then like they do now?

Thanks for posting these!

Ha. Back then this was built by M GmbH and had a ton of M5 parts. Plus this was when bmw didn't put ///M badges on everything and not many people did either.

Here is the new super model rare E(Insert something here) for att the veterans out here who Enjoys retro car styling, and live by the motives "BMW used to make better looking cars & It was better before" Its an all hand held action with pure premium BMW feel and gives excellent feedback from the roads, and don't forget it should not be driven at any cost in the rain or snow, It might shake and rattle at times but its all part of the feeling "It was better before"


Here it is the all astonishing new model for you all !!!!
