That's not really that different to an MX5 power and weight-wise.Not lightning fast but not a slouch and great fun.
I've always had a soft spot for these, but then I also want a capri, a 309 and about 20 other retro classics.
Yeah right!
The MX5 is AT LEAST 200kg lighter, has a better suspension set up and IIRC some or all of the 1.8 MX5s came with a LSD whereas very few if any of the BMWs did.
The only way you can compare the 2 cars is if you buy either you'd better enjoy welding as you'll be doing an awful lot of it if you buy either.
There are only 3 cool E30s, the 324TDS (with the OEM full mechanical bosch VE) the E30 M3 and maybe the 325is
