The BMW E30 has quickly become a design icon of the eighties. Designed by Claus Luth in 1978, the E30 combined dashing looks with pacey motoring through both four and six cylinder models. More popular of the two, the straight-six fuel injection M20 engine was widely applauded for its reliability and performance which combined with its handsome looks made the E30's extremely popular and still are today.
Sold in January 1988 by MLG BMW of Chiswick to the first owner, E321 HLB was then sold a year later with a warranted c. 9, 000 miles to the now vendor from Cooper Bishopsgate BMW, of which, it still has its original dealer plates and window sticker. Understood to be in original factory specification, our 320i coupe is spec'd in Lachs Silver paintwork with Anthracite gray cloth interior and sunroof. From our inspection, the car presents itself smartly with paintwork in good order and the interior in fabulous condition with no damage to the original grey cloth seats which is often hard to come by. Furthermore, the car sports a 5-speed manual gearbox allowing the driver to take advantage of all that the peppy free-revving six cylinder engine has to offer. The car sits on the factory-correct set of BMW bottle cap alloys which are again in smart condition. The car genuinely has a more retro look aided by the fact it is a 1987 chrome bumper model which was present on the cars before it was superseded by models with black bumpers and revised headlights later in 1988.
Our London-based vendor has kept the car garaged since his ownership and used it sparingly for leisure mainly in the summer months. As seen by the photographs, the car comes with a large history file which includes details of regular servicing (originally at BMW), various maintenance invoices and very original purchasing / warranty paperwork detailing its life in South West London.
With this era of BMW becoming widely renowned as some of their best design-work and with E30 two-door coupes rare to come across then this presents a safe investment for a gorgeous, very original 3-series in desirable specification.
