The publication of this book coincides with the 3 Series' 21st anniversary. Its popularity and status may be due to the longevity of its design, its ability to satisfy the keen driver or its iconic status, but, whatever it is, there is no doubt that the E30 is one car from the past that will stay with us into the future.

As a result, there has never been a better time for a book of this sort. By focusing on the common faults which crop up repeatedly and by giving detailed, simple instructions regarding repairs, this book willl be uniquely invaluable for owners who wish to try their hand at their own maintenance, especially those who may previously have been prevented from doing so by a lack of technical know-how.

This book covers all E30s from early 316s to the M3 and gives frank, detailed and practical buying advice. The book covers bodywork and trim refurbishing techniques, repairing electrics and mechanical parts, and gives advice on tuning & building modified engines. The book also includes a comprehensive list of yearly updates and specifications.
