SB's Take

  • Gorgeous example of E30 318i
  • Low miles and low owners
  • Updated M-Sport interior
The E30-era BMW 318i is a timeless classic that continues to captivate not only automotive enthusiasts but also a fresh generation of style-conscious people who want something a little bit different that has a pronounced sense of cool. SB are delighted to offer just such a car boasting low miles and low ownership. This iconic BMW, offered in brilliant Red over black interior, exemplifies the automaker's commitment to precision engineering, performance and style. Under the hood, the 318i boasts the 1.8-liter inline-4 'M40' engine, delivering a respectable 111 horsepower that is mated to a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic gearbox. While not a powerhouse, the engine's smoothness and rev-happy nature make it a joy to drive. The car's rear-wheel-drive configuration ensures tight handling and a balanced feel on the road, making it a favorite among purist drivers. The E30's exterior design is completely iconic, characterised by its clean lines, classic kidney grilles, and signature round headlights. The interior, while simple, is well-crafted, offering a driver-focused cockpit with supportive seats and high-quality materials. This particular example is offered by the seller - the car's 4th owner - wants for nothing having recently undergone a service so can be enjoyed immediately by the next owner. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.

Condition

  • The seller believes that Trim Dressing has leaked onto the red paint on the lower sections of the car which can easily be wiped away (see photos)
  • There is evidence of minor corrosion on the rear inner arches and slight bubbling on the outside arches
  • This 318i is shod in Nexen N Blue HD Plus tyres all around fitted last year with plenty of tread remaining
