In the US, e30s had driver-side airbags in the steering wheel for the last year of production, maybe last two (?).

Don't know for sure about other E30s, but my '90 M3 was the first model year of M3 to have them. Prior to that, the M3 had a 3 spoke Motorsport wheel.
I do know that other models of E30 had airbags (driver's side only in the E30) but not sure when they started.

My early 1992 325i (E36) dont have airbag.

Yes my 1990 325i E30 had the driver's side airbag. Made a great for my daughter until she moved up to a 1997 328is E36. I sold the E30 to a kid going to Georgia Tech and he was thrilled to find out they have a E30 race car at the engineering school..... maybe there is something to the "Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech" phrase...... BTW saw the car today and it was still rolling along at 300K plus miles.

Thank you all, I bought the 1989 325i I was looking at for my soon to be 16 year old son. I will have Greg Lavalle at Lavalle's import restorations in Oak Ridge NC put a new head on it and it will be ready to go. Thanks again, I believe it will be excellant for my son, Heck I'd take it, I had a dodge dart in HS.
