They're exactly 30 years apart but both have a straight hood and 'trunk.'
The Bimmer has "massive" 15 inch wheels and the Taco has "tiny" 16s.
Both are stick shift but the E30 has a aftermarket short shifter while the Taco has a somewhat longer throw but it's actually smoother.
E30 clutch is like doing a leg press. I actually got foot pain (plantar faciitis) from driving it straight for 2 months. I do have to admit wearing slip on shoes didn't help. The Taco clutch is light as a feather.
Bimmer has a single piston front brake while the Taco has 4 of them instead like you see in Brembos.
All in all they're different and I wouldn't have it any other way. I may need an automatic in my life though. lol
At the end of the day I'm a car guy. It will never end until the day I die but I think my kids will continue the legacy.
