EXTERIOR
This charming ‘Chromie’ Coupe is a wonderful timewarp example of a pre-facelift E30 that presents beautifully in a vibrant shade of Zinnoberrot (Cinnabar) Red. Markedly different from the Brilliant or Misano Red, Cinnabar is an all together deeper hue that really suits the 80’s box profile. Clearly this is an example that has been very well looked after over it’s 25k miles and stored carefully when not in use.
The chrome trim does display some burring around the front and rear screens although the door frames, side strips and bumper inserts are in lovely condition. The car also retains it’s original glass throughout with the original dealer sticker pride of place on the rear. The rest of the trim rubbers and plastics illustrate excellent fit and finish whilst pleasingly the chassis rails and jacking points are remarkably clear of corrosion.
INTERIOR
This Coupe’s cabin has aged remarkably well over the years with that familiar BMW 80’s aroma upon entry to the cabin space. The cloth seats show excellent contour and shape whilst the rear bench looks to have seen little to no use. A pillar covers and dash are excellent and fit as they should – not normally the case with a lot of E30’s whilst the door cards, sills and gearbox tunnel free from wear or marks.
Contemporary features include the original Blaupunkt Radio, which are so often replaced by aftermarket units that detract from the retro charm, and the original tool kit which sits complete in the boot lid inclusive of wheel brace and jack.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The modest output of the venerable M10 engine is enough to exploit the wonderful E30 chassis and this example has enjoyed regular servicing over the years. With a recent stainless exhaust system the car is smooth, quiet and refined.
The engine bay and front scuttle panel appear in excellent condition, without any concerns of wear or corrosion, whilst the much maligned foam insert in the bonnet is in superb order.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The 14 inch ‘Bottle Top’ alloy wheels appear to have never have been restored, so while there is the odd mark the general presentation is perfectly acceptable inclusive of chrome caps.
Premium rubber adorns all four corners whilst the brakes are in good health having had both rear cylinders and fluid replaced recently.
