But you might instead pick the Golf GTI because the &rsquo;80s was when hatch fever took hold. Despite arguably inventing the hot hatch genre with the 02 Touring in the 1970s, BMW never did field a direct GTI rival during the Reagan years, but these renders give us an idea of how one might have looked.<\/p>\n<div id=\"6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\" max-height=\"306\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\" max-height=\"600\"> <\/div>\n<p><script>\n var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== \"DESKTOP\"){\n    adpushup.triggerAd(\"4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a\");\n             }\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(\"6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657\");\n}         });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This proto-1-series is the work of Abimelec Design, whose work you&rsquo;ll have seen showcased plenty of times before on this site, and who claims to have taken inspiration from cars as diverse as the original Volkswagen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/vw-scirocco\/\">Scirocco<\/a> and even a Yugo. We can see the VW influence and there&rsquo;s something of Lancia&rsquo;s Beta HPE about it, too. Both of those cars were coupes, and the long wheelbase and fastback-style rear end also make this hypothetical E30 GTI look like a liftback, not a hot hatch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2021\/03\/bmw-128ti-tested-should-the-fwd-hot-hatch-establishment-worry\/\">BMW 128ti Tested, Should The FWD Hot Hatch Establishment Worry?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not a handsome car, the wheelbase is too long and the gap between the door and front wheel arch that&rsquo;s dictated by the E30&rsquo;s longitudinal engine layout (but seemingly exaggerated here) looks awkward in this case despite appearing in proportion when there&rsquo;s a conventional trunk out back to balance the original out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-oc-2x1',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic',\n    placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails Organic',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>But even if it&rsquo;s not as handsome as an E30 sedan, it would be a ton more practical, giving hatchback flexibility to those who didn&rsquo;t want to go down the Touring wagon route, which would mean increasing the door count.

That&rsquo;s more power, performance, and cylinders than any Golf GTi of the period could offer.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve no idea if BMW considered turning the E30 into a hatch, only that it didn&rsquo;t happen. Or did it? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw\/\">BMW<\/a> returned to the 2002 Touring idea in the 1990s with the first 3-Series Compact, and although the front half was borrowed from the newer E36 3-Series, the cheaper Compact didn&rsquo;t get the E36&rsquo;s multilink Z axle and instead made do with the E30&rsquo;s less sophisticated semi-trailing arm back end.<\/p>\n<p><iframe
