Detailed Walkaround
Here at Old Colonel Cars, the Classic and Performance Car Agency, we are delighted to have this excellent BMW E30 318is 16v Twin Cam ….
This rare E30 318is has covered 138,000 miles.
Everywhere you look on this excellent example, its as good as you would hope.
The paintwork, interior, underneath, engine bay, boot, all just as good.
These are one of the rarest E30’s and are now very much sought after, only made for 2 years, same performance as the 325i Sport. Many have covered high mileages, it wasn’t uncommon to see examples with over 200,000 miles on them 10 + years ago. These cars certainly seem able to take the high mileages, so its almost impossible to find good, low mileage examples, let alone ones anywhere near as good as this one.
Finished in Alpine White, the paintwork and bodywork on this car look superb.
Inside, the sports check cloth seats are in amazing condition, as are the door cards etc.
Underneath this car is again all solid, original and in excellent shape.
See the detailed walkaround videos and many pictures at the top of our website advert.
This cars drives and performs perfectly. The engine starts and performs without any fuss, very eager to rev and a lovely engine note. The 5 speed manual gearbox is nice and precise, the clutch feels just right, the factory sports suspension feels nice and precise. A very sporty drive, a lighter car compared to the 325i Sport, often described as the ‘Baby M3’.
This E30 benefits from full service history. We have all the original book pack, original stamped service book, a folder full of service receipts and all old Mot’s.
Recent work includes 5 new Continental tyres in 2023, new clutch, new driveshafts, brake callipers, brake hoses, Bilstein shock all round etc.
Will have Years MOT on sale.
