Comments from the seller

A great opportunity to own an increasingly sought-after BMW E30 318is. I've owned this car for many years and have enjoyed having it as part of my collection. During my ownership, the vehicle has been driven relatively sparingly and has not been used as a daily driver. Importantly, the car has had some significant maintenance carried out, including timing chain and timing chain guide replacements, providing peace of mind for the next owner. Like any older vehicle, there are a couple of minor items worth mentioning: - Driver's side electric window is currently not working. - There is a small tear in the sunroof lining. - no log book but have service history from when I have owned the car. The car presents an opportunity for someone looking to own an appreciating classic BMW, whether as an enthusiast, collector or someone who appreciates the iconic E30. Car is on club plates so will be sold unregistered. Genuine enquiries welcome. Happy to answer any questions or arrange an inspection.
