1990 BMW 318i Touring

Full service history including new cambelt and waterpump and a month or so ago.

Full black sports leather.

Refurbed 15" BBS with caps.

Overall in superb condition. No rust on inner or outer arches.

New foam under bonnet.

One of the best examples I have owned.

I'll let the photos do the talking.

3 owners and extremely well looked after. The last owner brought the electic window isolator switch from BMW for £51 because it was faded.

I've owned about 5 tech 2 sports, 3 tech 1 sports, but now have this, an E28 M535i and an E34 540i V8.

Trying to sell the 540i V8 at the moment, its on ebay:

Not sure yet. Was going to use it as a daily as my garage has only one space and that's for my E28 M535i.

Want to keep it as original as possible, like the previous owners have.

This is my M535i:

Yeah there's a small bit of rust on the tailgate, but have brand new genuine BMW one to replace it.

How's the 318is, you brought a set of 15" BBS off me once in St.Ives i think?

Yeah still in St.Ives. Not sure what to do with it really. I was going to use it as a daily but its far too good for that and I only have one garage space and that is taken up by my M535i.
