But surely if you wanted one and were willing to pay the money....

Only way to find out is phone the dealer with the chassis number and all will be revealed...

They came in white,red,black flat and metallic blue,silver. (UK cars)
The metallic was a no cost extra so why they are all in flat colours is beyond me!

I bet u it ain't a genuine one, either a badged up 8v jobbie with a few toys, or someone's dropped the lump in at a latter stage.

I don't want to eat my words so find out!

2door only too

I know what general colours they came in, and yes you're right, it's probably not a genuine one, but it's the same as the sports, they came in a range of colours, but we know there are others out there...sterling, granite, mineral blue etc.
What I'm trying to say is if you were willing to pay the money, you probably could have had whatever colour you wanted....just like the person who bought the one brand new E30 M3 Sport Evo in a unique colour...

true i see what your saying, but they were paying decent money for top E30's who's gonna pay extra for a 318iS? they were only Ԛ£14,000 or something new.

I've seen Dick Van Dyke driving a calypso red 4 door one in the states on the TV!

There's always an odd one with beemers, OZ split rims were another optional extra!
