I could be wrong but it looks like neon blue, a limited edition towards the end of E30 production. Does it have the lairy interior?

Neon Blue, its a limited edition 318i convertible colour, but that engine appears to be a 6 cylinder one.

'Design' Convertible, limited where made in this colour and less in the Neon Green colour. £650 is a good price I would say. Wheres it located? If its local to the midlands and you dont have it, let me know the details :D

650 seams fare. You should be able to get a v5 no problem if the police recovered it and its all above board.

Hood looks good, but interior looks black leather unless the reflections are playing with my eyes.

Your best bet would be to restore it, replace those replica Alpina alloys with the standard BBS ones, put it back to standard spec and add no mods. It would be much more desirable then

And end up with a stolen recovered cat regd car and a 4 pot to boot.

It looks above live a neon Motorsport car that's had an m20 2.5 thrown in it.

Bottom line is the most it'll ever be is a bit of fun for someone. It'll never be worth any real dough.

Seriously, If its situated in the south anywhere, we'd be interested (but I'd need to book the boat to Beijing a bit sharp like.)

On second thoughts looking at the photos. I reckon it's been painted as under the bonnet don't look like the same colour. I'm thinking more along the lines of a facelift 325i and the colour looks like estoril blue?

I was thinking the same thing the other day after I commented... Noticed the chrome trim round the window and the lack of blue in the engine bay.


Anyway, did you buy it Hustler86?

Unfortunately, Tech 2 spoilers dont command a high premium like the Tech 1... :( £30-£50 although I may be wrong

I wouldn't be :( about it being a facelift 325 that's been sprayed. As i understand it Facelift 325 cabs are quite rare as most were 318i's.

How come its on a Q plate? must have seen a bit more action than just being stolen recovered?
