The definitive 1980s mid-sized executive saloon car, BMW’s second generation (E30) 3-Series of 1982 is instantly recognisable as one of the design icons of the period. The profile is instantly recognisable, whilst the front-engine/rear-wheel-drive chassis delivers the classic BMW driving experience. The keys to the E30’s appeal after some 40 years are its crisp styling, flexibility, durability and sporting road manners. This epitome of understated cool has neatly segued from being the yuppie’s conveyance of choice, to now a style icon of the 1980s. Values are appreciating as discerning drivers appreciate the quality and the value the E30 offers in the collector’s car market.
This exceptional original example was first registered in January 1989, a UK-delivered 320i Convertible model finished in Alpine White with a blue/grey sports cloth interior and automatic gearbox. The BMW is supplied with a comprehensive BMW service record care of dealers Scotthall BMW, High Wycombe BMW, A1 BMW, and Wings of Welwyn, with the most recent service in 2024 at 35,994 miles (including cambelt, brake fluid, and coolant).
The 320i presents extremely well with beautiful rust-free paintwork, an excellent wear-free interior in sports cloth, unmarked dashboard and super unfaded Navy blue convertible roof. In previous ownership for 17 years, we understand the BMW starts and drives beautifully, with a smooth responsive engine and tight running gear.
Complete with a valid MoT certificate, V5C and owner’s books/wallet, lovely in every way and highly original, this is in our opinion the perfect collector’s grade modern classic. Surely one of the finest examples of a 320i in existence, and certainly the best we have offered.
