1987 BMW E30 318i auto saloon
Emerald Green
Pre facelift (but fuel injection)
122,000 miles
MOT 26/10/2013
Tax 01/05/2013
Full service history
It was fully serviced 2,000 miles ago with an oil change, air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs. Had a new Bosch battery last year, which is still under guarantee. New drive belts to solve squeaking. Couple of new tyres. Wheels have been refurbished and new bolts used with centre badges on the hub caps. Little bits like a machine polish and new roundels have kept it looking fresh. All the chrome is perfect and pit-free.
Car is lowered on shocks and springs which were fitted by the previous owner I think sometime last winter so they're pretty new. Rides quite low but not problematic, gives it a good stance I think. Exhaust all looks pretty new but again not my work.
I get compliments everywhere with this one, which is probably the biggest thing I'll miss. It's in great nick with not a spot of rot or rust anywhere bar a small bubble on the sunroof panel. My local garage who did the MOT were surprised at how clean and original it all is, one of them being an E30 owner themselves.
All electrics work, power steering, electric sunroof, heaters blow hot and cold. Has a headunit in the glovebox, the original doesn't work I just prefer it there to keep the interior original. Aux cable is ran from the glovebox into the ash tray to use your ipod or whatever.
Between work and university I use this every day of the week travelling about 40 miles, I've put around 10,000 on it and its never missed a beat. Gearbox kicks down and shifts fine, cruises well too. This is the oldest car I've ever owned yet ironically the best condition, only needed a tie rod and fog light switch for its last MOT.
Some caveats, however:
Driver's seat base is worn, as with most E30s.
Needs a new electric aerial
Small dent in the front bumper chrome
I get about 220 miles to £40 and insurance is £220 for the year fully comp (24, 5 years NCB).
Car is located in North Yorkshire. Looking for £1,250. I'm not in any rush to sell but offers are welcome.
Not interested in part-exs thanks.
