Very few cars from the 80s and early 90s have aged as gracefully as the E30 cabriolets. Stylish, elegant, and an undeniable symbol of success back in the day, they have become a cult classic, leaving the originally more expensive Mercedes SL of the same period looking old and tired. The E30 was arguably BMWs masterpiece, from a time of over-engineering and obsessive quality control. The E30 configuration lends itself incredibly well to the convertible configuration, having a long, elegant, flat bodyline, perfect for roof removal. These cars are one of the most cost effective and easy to run modern classics, making the combination of looks, cred, reliability and cost an unbeatable classic package.

This recently recommissioned and well cared for manual 325i cabriolet in a desirable colour combo. Having recently had a fresh coat of paint, this particular car looks well cared for and very well turned out. And if you’re going to show the world the inside of your car, it may as well look good. The biscuit leather is in surprisingly good shape, with no cracking or any real signs of wear. Those that still want something resembling modern power will always go for the 325i, and this particular car is of course the more desirable manual version.

The usual roof worries don’t apply here as the original electric roof was sensibly converted to manual operation – the roof itself is in good condition and stows well. Having been stored for much of its recent life, and undergone recent refreshment, this pretty E30 drop top is ready for the summer ahead, and plenty of easy classic driving.
