Of all the cars I've made in Automation, this is the one I'm most proud of. I feel it is almost as accurate as currently possible of an E30 325i creation in Automation Game, body wise. The engine is also extremely close. I could have made it closer, but I didn't want to make this video an hour and a half long, lol.

As it is, you may want to skip through some parts of the design process. I'll warn you up front that the front grill took longer to design than anything else on the car, totaling over 7 minutes. It was also likely the most boring part of the design process, as I spent most of the time trying to figure out how to make the headlights work with the grill. The engine, in comparison (the most complicated part of the car) only took about 5 minutes. But was not nearly as monotonous as the front grill.

Anyway, for those of you that don't know, the E30 3-series is the ultimate driving machine. It is one of the greatest cars ever made, combining engine performance with the nimbleness of a cheetah, and room for a small family. It's the first sport sedan that simply got it all right. The E30 M3 is commonly known as God's Chariot, and for good reason. Don't believe me? Simply type that in to Google, the first two links are directly related to E30's. Look at the Google photo results, you'll see nearly as many pictures of E30's as you will pictures of divinity.Some would say I simply say all this because I own an E30, but the truth of the matter is that I've owned 5 E30's because everything I've said is true. They are simply divine.

I'd also like to throw out my appreciation to the dev team of Automation for including a model that could so easily be turned into an E30. I had tried to do this with with previous models, but wasn't satisfied enough with the results to publish my previous attempts.
