Like new 1990 316i auto. Reduced price.

Hello.

My e30 is a very smooth 316i auto with 62k on the clock that I have owned for 13 years (I got it from the original owner).

I have just had it restored (full bare metal paint job) so it’s like the day it rolled off the line. Very oem down to the plates. Lots of original paperwork and bills including the sales brochure.
Phil from CPC in Amersham gave the mechanicals a full overhaul, runs very quietly.

Still smells new.

It’s a nicer car than any for sale I have seen and it’s something you really need to see in person to appreciate.

Put simply, it won’t embarrass you at a show.

Although it’s not a big engined coupe it’s still an extremely special car, I am now looking for a reduced price of £13,500 ono.

Very happy to chat and not in a rush to sell, want it to go to the right person. Based in a village near Epping Forest / Harlow.

I just don’t use it enough.

More pictures on this thread below and more of the interior to be added soon.

Can do a video call too if requested.

Thanks

Kit

You need to put a price that you consider to be
"The right price "

I think for this price you may be looking at putting a lot more pictures up like the interior and the engine bay and the boot and close up pics of the wheels too.
The more info the better for all :D :D
I think Mick is correct that you have to put a "proper" price that people can deal with and not "offers".

Cheers Mart.

Ok thanks.

Will take more pictures.

I decided not to paint the engine, I feel it needs to wear some of its originality with pride.

I have adjusted the main ad, looking closer at the prices I will drop to an asking price of £15k.

Thanks.

I found that it was not allowing me to add more pictures.

Wheels are original and fully refurbed with 4 brand new Hancock tyres. The centres have also been refurbed with new centre stickers.

0% rust, what little there was was fixed with metal. I can put any buyer in touch with the body shop.

New oem exhaust and exhaust tip.

Bluetooth stereo that looks oem (Continental). Upgraded speakers behind original grills.

Only issue is a headlight recently decided to dip slightly. Looking into sorting that.

Will let the pictures do the rest of the work once I find a way of adding more than the ones in the original post.

Few shots of the inside. Excuse the dust/dirt on the mat. Easily cleaned off. They are of course original.

I made a conscious decision not to paint the engine. It’s my belief it should wear its originality with pride. It’s covered by an as new bonnet with new under lining as seen below.

Stupidly left a light on in the car so drained the battery. Fitted a new one, so thought I would take a shot of the battery tray, this is original and was not part of the restoration.
