The Appeal

The trick with customising is to take what the factory made good and sympathetically improve it. This stand-out E30 pulls off that trick very neatly. Its Macau Blue paintwork, which was detailed and ceramic coated in 2024, is accented by a set of 17-inch custom Alpina rims and a sophisticated air ride set-up. All the work was completed recently.

It is presented in very good condition. Its three keepers have kept the mileage down and the service book shows regular attention throughout its life. The last service was in 2023. That was less than 200 miles ago as the car has subsequently been in the current keeper’s dry-stored collection.

Other notable work includes a new hood in 2021 and general repairs alongside the last service, which can be checked in the photos. It will be sold with a fresh 12-month MOT and there is a decent history file.

You could show this car or simply enjoy it. Whichever you choose, it is a fine example of the classic E30 with some tasty upgrades.
