Description

Get yourself behind the wheel of a sporty two-door E30 without the huge price tag!

Available here is a genuine E30 318i S, noted for its revvy 4 cylinder motor pushing close to 140bhp although this one is a little fruitier thanks to an M42 upgrade chip installed back in 2012. I say genuine as these cars are so good that replicas do exist.

Mechanically, the car is in good shape having passed the last MOT with no advisories which is good until next August. It was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust back in 2012 at considerable cost and sounds amazing!

The Alpina wheels suit the car so well and for the discerning owner it’s good to know that they are genuine. Again, an incredibly valuable asset.

Being offered below general market value due to lacquer failure on the bonnet, roof and passenger side, only visible on close inspection. The driver side has been painted and is in great condition.

Inside, the original interior looks epic with just one small tear on the driver seat bolster. The headlining is in great shape and the addition of the manual sliding sunroof by the original owner on the spec sheet was a great touch.

The car comes with two keys, stacks of history and lots of service paperwork including the original book with stamps right up to 60k miles and a more recent one at 124k with enthusiast attention in between (receipts included). For added peace of mind, the timing chain and guides were replaced at 115k miles in 2011 along with water pump, head set, radiator and thermostat. The head was also removed at the time before being pressure tested, skimmed and reinstalled.

All in all, a fantastic opportunity to get yourself in a two-door E30 that is only going to rise in value thanks to the madness that is the 325i
