The Appeal
There's little doubt that the E30 has become the stuff of legend. This was a car with near-perfect balance between performance, dynamics and practicality. They're still one of the most celebrated cars to ever roll from the Bavarian marque.
What you're looking at here is arguably the ultimate rendition of the E30 that doesn't carry the M3 badging. Picked out in a handsome Dolphin Grey, this sharp, characterful retro machine showcases the desirable M-Tech II body kit, which transforms the already handsome E30 silhouette into something truly special and quintessential to its era.
Originally supplied by Sewell BMW in Great Dunmow, Essex, this 325i Sport boasts a very impressive factory spec, including a desirable manual gearbox, M Sport leather seats, and steel sunroof. Mechanically sound and aesthetically pleasing, this E30 represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of BMW's most celebrated driver's cars in one of its most desirable formats.
