How many 318i Lux's ?

Post Sun Nov 27, 2005 10:26 pm

Hi Guys,

I have only seen two other 318i luxes on here i think, and they were both been broken!!

Any body else got ones that are not been broken? Just out of interest.

Any body know how many were made roughly, i know they were only made for the last few years to shift the e30 for the arrival of the e36.

People only care about mileage, number of owners and FSH when buying 316i/318i

extra specification means nothing really

All the extras are nice to have.

To be honest mine was advertised as a 318i, only found out it was a lux after!

Found it!

All End-of-line 318i Lux models have leather upholstery and an electric hood in addition to the cross-spoke alloys, front fog lights and metallic paint, so are worth a bit more!

Obviously the above applies to the Lux Convertibles. Don't know about the saloon's. Maybe somebody knows what extras they had over "normal" cars.

14" bbs
metallic paint
sunroof, elecrtic windows as standard
fog lights
'lux' seats
lux lip spoiler
obc

etc..

mine had 15" bbs
mine had recaro type seats
"lux" lip spoiler?? whats that?
I think the OBC was an option even on the "Lux"

Post Sat Apr 01, 2006 11:44 pm

small rubber lip spoiler. bit crap looking!

Post Sat Apr 01, 2006 11:45 pm

That sounds about right. Yes the rear spoiler. Steve, you wont have one as yours is a cab, they idnt get them (luckily!). Your seats are cab ones, in a normal lux they had comfort seats with 'lux coverings'.

My Lux

is this a lux interior then? cos thats what is in it, same as my touring

this is the spoiler it has i think (pic is of my black one)

Post Sun Apr 02, 2006 11:50 am

Yes lux seats and lux spoiler.

Lux also had rear headrests, vinal gaitors and most seem to have the 3 spoke 'sports' (not mtech" steering wheel.

ok thanks, it does have rear head rests,

was there a lux touring? it doesnt say on the log book but its a high spec touring, has the lux interior, rear headrests, front fogs though the bbs it has were put on by me

Post Sun Apr 02, 2006 12:20 pm

Yes lux tourings existed. They made 'lux' the lot to shit the small engine e30's when the e36 was on its way.
