1991 BMW E30 318i Cabriolet in Metallic Laguna Green

For sale is my BMW E30 Great condition inside and out.

Currently SORN and stored in a garage for the winter months with a cover over and on charge to maintain the battery life

M.O.T till June having passed with no problems or advisorys last time and only driven approx 400 miles since

Current mileage is 84,500

Interior is all original no rips or tears minimal wear to the seats
Carpeted floor and mats
The dash has no cracks
All interior lights work on the console and dash board
Fitted with a fully working Memphis Blaukpunkt radio cassette player(rare) one of the original radios for that time with the added feature of a having a cd input jack (aux) built in so you can play your music

The boot inside is nice and clean with the original tool box

Electric windows fully working

Manual sunroof is only a few years old and is great condition with no leaks there is no discoloration and has had a couple of coats of waterproofing applied.

The exterior is in great shape having no rust in the arches and the sills are solid.
Wheels have no kerbing and tyres have plenty of life in them with the spare as good as new

Engine bay is tidy and has recently had a new Exide battery fitted with a 5 year warranty

Bumpers mirrors and trim are all in great condition there's no cracking,flaking or discoloration

I have an original 318i boot decal that is ready to be put on as this was missing when I purchased the car

Paint work has benefited from having a clay bar run over it and a couple of coats of quality wax to show of it's gorgeous colour

All lights are working

Replica tax disc showing year of registration,feu orange air freshener (for those who can remember back in the day) coloured co-ordinated vinyl cassette box and some 90's cassettes to add a little nostalgia

I have a folder with various receipts of work,M.O.T,s and fair amount of service history.

The car has been HPI checked and has no outstanding finance on it I have proof if needed

This is a reluctant sale as I'm unable to store it in its current location
This car deserves to be looked after

I have plenty of pictures if required

Viewing can be arranged and I am happy to answer any questions

This is nice example of this model who's value is only going to go up

I'm looking to sell for £8,950

Thanks for looking

Very very nice cab,the bottle tops are the best I’ve ever seen other than refurbed ones.I know it’s not your option as your selling it but a set of 15”BBS would look the nuts,anyway good luck with the sale,you will regret it when it’s gone.

That certainly looks a stunning example of an original, unmolested and cherished E30 in one of the best colours, and well worth the asking price.
Unless you can see that the boot 318i badge was there at some time, don't assume that it ever was. Boot badge delete was a commonly requested option on four cylinder cars.

Still say this is well worth the asking price, but looking back with hindsight, the end of February this year possibly wasn't the best time to offer a cr like this for sale.
Definitely renew the MOT certificate, and, original as it is, it would be a little more attractive with a three spoke sport steering wheel.
A set of 15" style 5 wheels would also be nice, but by the time you've fitted them with matching quality tyres, that would be a much more expensive upgrade.

There's never a good time to sell something you don't really want to . Maybe someone will take your advice and take it to the next level

Stunning, the only criticism I have and would have replaced is the steel spare, but thats me being anal and pedantic.

I think that’s a factory off the production line original,I had a 318i moredoor saloon 1988,it had exactly the same black steel wheel.

Yes, the most unmolested E30s in my collection have a black steel spare with a big orange 'inspected' label on them.

I know but I replaced it with a mint BBS as I didn't want to roll with a steel and 3 BBS's if I had a puncture.
