Always loved the shape of the E30 BMW and the Touring as well.

Not exactly very easy to get hold of now but this one looks well looked after with a good history.

Just lovely. I had an 86 320iSE back in the day and always fancied a late 325i.

If this is kept in good condition and maintained, I would be a good long term buy.

But maybe not at that price.

Lovely. I still miss my 320 2 door I had in the late 90s. But, as above the price...

..then you see what e36 you can get for not much money. 328 conertible, for example..

The E30 is an absolute icon. Moreover with this specification and history it will remain highly sought after.

I had two of these, similar spec to the one advertised, but auto.

I think auto suits this engine well.

What a lovely thing! Looks showroom fresh as well, and I don't think it's crazily priced. Some white background soft lit studio shot 80's classic dealer would be pushing that out for £25k.

Interesting to see the windows etched with the reg plate. In my student car cleaning days back in the late 80's I used to do that job. I remember etching a line of 5 identical red Ford Orions for a taxi firm in Bournemouth. Once I had finished I realised that I had a left over number, only to realise I had them all out of sequence and eteched every car with the wrong plate.... I thought that that was it. I was stting myself and prepared myself for the mother of all bkings but the sales guy said "they're only taxis" and wondered off!

Indeed, highlighted all the more by the absolutely gopping piles of sh*t that BMW are churning out nowadays frown

That's really nice, excellent condition.

We started doing a regular walk in the South Oxfordshire countryside during Covid, one of the footpaths we use takes us across a farm where the farmer has a pretty tidy dark metallic grey one kept in an open sided barn.

It seems to be in regular use, I keep on hoping to bump into him to have a chat about all things E30.

I don’t agree and I think they are turning out some great cars. I did have a seven year break from them (2012 to 2019) and I am delighted with the current 530. They have some great cars in the range with a personal favourite being the 440d. If I was a bit younger I like the look of the 135i among many others.

Moreover my recent experiences of BMW servicing is first rate.
