The BMW 3-series is a compact executive car manufactured since May 1975. It has been produced in six different generations and in five different body styles. It is BMW's best-selling model, accounting for around 30% of the BMW brand annual total sales and has won numerous awards throughout its history. The E30 was sold from 1982 to 1991 in saloon form and then until 1993 in convertible format. Both four-cylinder and six-cylinder petrol engines were used with a six-cylinder diesel added in 1985. In 1987, the first all-wheel drive 3-series was produced called the 325iX. The E30's introductory price was nearly double that of the E21 just seven years earlier. Initially released as a two-door coupe, the four-door saloon body style was added to the 3-series line up in 1984.

This lovely example of this iconic 1980s 'yuppie' saloon is presented in gleaming red with grey cloth interior and has only covered a mere 33,250 miles from new which is verified by the owner as being correct. This BMW was in storage from 1992 to 2017 when it was taken out and then recommissioned. At that time, the car was resprayed, the engine and gearbox were removed stripped and rebuilt. All brakes, discs, pads, suspension, bearings and much more were all renewed. The interior is original and in very good condition. The car also comes with a MoT test certificate which expires March 6th 2025, radio manual and owner's manual. The smooth six-cylinder engine delivers good performance through its five speed manual gearbox. This is a great example of this very popular and appreciating 1980s classic. Consigned by James Good.
