Unless your name is Bill Caswell, the concept of taking a E30-era BMW off-road should be left to those drunken nights in college that end up with a tow truck bill and a Craigslist hunt for a replacement beater. Personally, the images I have of E30s are from when they were new, and the elbow-patched yuppie types in the neighborhood I grew up in who would scowl at anybody going near their little red coupe. Thirty years later, and writer-types and car-adoring hipsters (is that a thing?) sing the praises of 1980s BMWs as if they were the Holy Grail. Which makes this video that /drive put together with the help of BFGoodrich all that much sweeter. BFG has been trying to get the word out about their all-new All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and concocted a deal with Mike Musto: find a $2000 beater Bimmer, slap on the new rubber, and enjoy the desert trails from San Francisco down to Los Angeles, then to Wheeler Pass, Nevada. Minimal asphalt, plenty of fire roads, and some decently rocky washes awaited the car. Fire roads in a beater sound like fun, the kind of sideways deviancy that we all enjoy. Hustling a ragged-out yuppie-mobile up a rocky wash? Well…that’s something else altogether.
