In a market full of repetitive specifications and trims, the ‘Design Edition’ is visually distinctive from the rest.

Utilising the robust 318i M40 Engine, this specific example is fitted with the rarer 5 Speed Manual Transmission and offers an original and factory correct opportunity to own an important chapter of BMW History.

Supplied from BMW Leeds in April 1992, this Design Edition has been remarkably well-kept to showcase a high-grade current condition. Following a period in climate-controlled storage between 2019 and 2024, the car has since benefitted from a fresh mechanical overhaul and an extensive detail to bring out its absolute best. Inside the original owners booklet is a stamped service book up to 85, 000 Miles, all owners pamphlets and handbook, as well as a array of further invoices, MOT’s and tax discs.

With a comparative lower mileage of 100, 500, this E30 has had a thorough pre-sale inspection to ensure it ready to go and meets high standards for the next owner.

Exterior - the paintwork benefits from a full 3 stage machine polish and coating, removing any swirls and imperfections. All trim and plastic's are protected with 'Gtechniq C4'. All BBS Wheels have been professionally refurbed and fitted with the above mentioned Kumho Tyres.

Interior - All carpet, floor mats and cloth seats have been deep cleaned with advanced compressed air tools, followed by a full wet-vacuum extraction. Trim is cleaned with compressed air tools and protected in a non-gloss, factory finish coating. The engine bay has been lightly cleaned to retain an honest condition.
