Back in the fold after many years, wanted a Mint low mileage fsh E30 to pug away and use sparingly on nice dry summer days and take to a few local classic car shows in the summer months.
Those of you who know me by now know that im one of these (self confessed!!) strange people who prefer small engines, no spec, more doors, auto boxes, originality, and wheeltrims!!
Therefore I have purchased from Old Colonel Cars my perfect E30. This car will appeal to absolutely nobody on here except me, and the only other person in the world to love it would be the person who ordered it new!! Im sitting down ready for the laughing posts about its povertyness!!
Ive had a 316i, 318i, 320i, and 325i but REALLY wanted a 316 as my keeper just because its basicness has a whole different appeal to me:
To that end I have found an utterly Mint Zinnobar Red 1987 E reg 316 Auto moredoor with zero spec - it has no sunroof, wheeltrims as opposed to alloys, it has manual windows, no foglights, never even had a radio fitted so no aerial on the bodywork or speakers inside. Its as pure as they come with only options specced new bering the auto box and power steering.
It has a genuine 41,000 miles on the clock and is like new inside. Dealer mats from new, with original keyrings, rear sticker, original plates, original window stickers on the front screen, original tax disc holder. It has the original bookpack with all original business cards, original handbook, service book, warranty book etc etc - absolutely every pirce of paper from new and has been in 25 times to the supplying BMW dealer for servicing - its as complete and mint as they come. Ill be popping it into our local BMW dealer for servicing to keep it right. Its tucked up in my garage in its air chamber with its cosy cover on.
The pictures....ill await the slagging but remember this is exactly what I wanted as im a "less is more" kinda guy, its lack of spec is what appeals to me:
