The Classic: The BMW 325i Touring (E30) M Pack
The BMW 325i Touring (E30) M Pack belongs to the second generation of the 3 Series from the German car manufacturer BMW. This generation was produced from 1982 to 1994 and still enjoys great popularity among car enthusiasts. The E30 was designed by the then design chief Claus Luthe and a team of experienced engineers, including Hans Kerschbaum. The E30 was conceived to seamlessly follow on from the first generation of the 3 Series and further enhance the driving experience. The elegant touring version appeals to discerning drivers who seek high performance and practical utility combined.
Technical Data and Features
The BMW 325i Touring (E30) is equipped with a 2.5-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that provides 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 222 Nm (163 lb-ft). This engine allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 8.3 seconds. The top speed is set at 217 km/h (135 mph). When discussing technical data, it's important to mention the 5-speed manual transmission and the optional 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle also features independent suspension at both the front and rear, significantly enhancing driving dynamics. It's worth noting the predecessor, the E21, which laid the foundation for the successful 3 Series.

Historical Context and Timeframe
To better understand the historical context: In 1987, when the BMW 325i Touring (E30) was first presented, significant events were happening worldwide. In the same year, the song "With or Without You" by U2 was released, and the economist Margaret Thatcher was serving as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. These examples help to place the age of the vehicle and the era it comes from into perspective. Alongside the technical attributes and historical references, the detailed 1/18 scale model replica by Otto Models, crafted from resin, makes the vehicle a true highlight for collectors.
