Welcome to the zone!
A 318i lux will be a lateish plate touring,perhaps a K or L?
BMW always seemed to do plain but good quality interiors,there are two patterns of front seats fitted,both available s/h with cloth or leather covers.Colour and condition will govern price,but I have sold two standard cloth touring interiors in recent months for around the £70 mark to give you an idea.I have also paid £150 for a touring rear seat in light grey leather!
If you require technical help,a post in the tech. forum will bring you a fast response,we like to help you get the best from your car.
Tourings came with body colour plastic covered bumpers,I have a spare pair of plain black one's in my parts stash,but once again,an advert in the 'wanted' section stating what colour you are looking for may well find you the correct colour.
Please take a few minutes to hunt out the forum rules,especialy before placing adverts....
Thank you.
Oh,you wanted piccies...these are my two E30's,the cabbie is the current project...

thought you were to say its a "TOURING"
not an estate or a 5 dr !
a more dr has a boot and a Moore dr has a rear hatch + lot's ov goodies standard.

Pity! The 5 door 318i (touring) has better brakes, better suspension and more effective rustproofing than the saloon, but welcome to the Zone, anyway.

Do you suffer from some strange kind of door related dyslexia? You could arguably call a touring a five door, but a coupe a three door????
