Car was manufactured in 1992 and exported directly from BMW Germany to an ex-pat living in Hong Kong. She is UK spec. with KM speedo.
The car was in Hong Kong for eight years and covered 20K kilometres before being re-exported by her owner to the UK. To date she has had three owners and covered 60K kilometres (40K miles)
She has come with full documentation and service history which includes a service book with BMW stamps in Chinese, the original Chinese log book and letters from BMW's homologation department verifying the cars age when re-imported. Plus alot of expensive service invoices from BMW.
The body is completely rust free as you would expect from a hot climate and this level of care, but the paintwork needed agood wash, polish and wax to bring it back to a finish that matched the rest of the car. The interior had faded as you might expect with eight years of sun. I have removed the interior and restored it with a Gliptone reclour kit....excellent product.
She is fitted with an original Alpine radio/CD head unit wired to an Audisson amp situated behind the rear seat. There are additional speakers and tweeters as fitted by BMW giving a sound quality that is excellent even by todays standards.
The car is now booked into Howard Motors (Preston) for a full inspection, timing belt change, full fluid replacement including diff. and auto box as well as a new manifold gasket as the heat shield has perished. (All in price £250....bargain!)
Overall the car is a joy to drive especially with the hood down. She compliments my sons 318is beautifully and is nearly as comfortable to drive as my regular drive a BMW 330d M Sport !!
