1989 BMW E30 325i Manual

Highlights

• £5,000 invested in the car last year
• Good history file with receipts spanning the last decade
• MOT valid until June 2027

The Appeal

It's practically synonymous with the words 'Sport Saloon', and it's for good reason. The E30 is characterful, engaging, and rewarding - a real driver's car wrapped up in an executive layout that feels classy and timeless to this day. It's little wonder we still seek these fabulous cars out - and little wonder we're expecting plenty of interest in this fine example.

This 1989 example retains its factory-standard engine and is accompanied by a solid history file including receipts for work carried out over the last 10 years, with £5,000 invested last year alone. The exterior was resprayed prior to the current owner's tenure and presents in good overall order, really capturing that time capsule feel throughout.
It's a great example of an eminently drivable classic. Not one to miss!
