After a long search and a few let downs i finally found what i didnt know i was looking for just around the corner, typical.

Its a Chromie 86' 318i two door one lady owner garaged its whole life, 61 thousand miles! and a full BMW history even an extention issued by BMW to allow room for the number of stamps in the service book!

Condition is exemplary and i look forward to getting into the garage and a really good detail, should i keep it comlpletely as is or 'retro' it, is yet to be decided.

why would it need so many services with only 61000 miles?

Pics will be a few weeks away im afraid, away with work and such, well if it was serviced once a year that would be 23 stamps for starters.

Was looking for a really smart 318is but this was too good to avoid, this wil be my third E30 a 325 touring and a 318is go before i have also had an E36 M3 an E28 M535 an E36 320 an E36 328i sport touring amongst many othe BMWs and my current daily is a 325i Msport touring.

And i sometimes write the odd article for the BMW club magazine.

Turbo? eh no would love twin carbs mmmm retro burble
