Beschreibung
My beloved 320i E30 coupe is a fine, unmolested example of this classic BMW with the legendary straight-6 engine. I acquired this late 1990 example in 2014, and have used it as my 'everyday' car for work and leisure adding about 5, 000 miles each year.
The last two independent mechanics who worked on the car have both described the engine as ‘tight’ and the body as ‘sound’.
The automatic gearbox means it rarely revs above 3000rpm and while it’s covered 139, 000 miles it has never been stressed or thrashed. The underside is rock solid apart from some rust around the nearside back wheel arch which needs attention. The next MOT is not due until 25 January 2023.
I have replaced all the peripherals that are bound to fail after 100, 000 miles: radiator, steering rack, water pump & timing belt (last year at 135, 000 miles), front wishbones, shocks, fuel pump and rear suspension bushes - all through independent BMW specialists.
The interior is clean and tidy (no smoke, no dogs) apart from a worn driver's seat which requires re-upholstering. The sunroof is rust-free and operates smoothly.
Serviced annually (every 5, 000 miles), this much-admired head-turner comes with an original tool kit, a new battery, four decent tyres and a spare.
Due to a radical increase in mileage for work I’ve bought a new car and, sadIy, I can’t afford to run two!
Call me for more pictures, all the bills and MOTs. It’s available for a test drive at weekends.
