The Appeal
The BMW E30 3 Series Convertible was highly desirable in the 1980s, with production of the drop-top continuing well into the 1990s due to strong demand. It's easy to see why. This was a car with an executive-level character that perfectly balanced performance, reliability and comfort. A real all-time winner from the house of Bavaria.
This particular 1993 320i Convertible is a grand ambassador to this much-loved era. Highly original, eminently drivable and picked out in a styling Mauritius Blue, this E30 is now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
