1990 BMW 318is ALPINE WHITE,LOW MILEAGE 64K MEGA SERVICE HISTORY,LEATHER,LSD BBS for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 598 votes

Here is my Cherished 1990 BMW E30 318is that I have for sale. These are one of the sought after models in the e30 range benefiting from better MPG than the six cylinder models and 142 BHP from the 16valve M42 engine.

Values of these are unlikely to decrease. This is a fantastic looking. usable. and reliable retro classic

 

This car has an amazing BMW Dealer service history to back up the LOW 64500 Miles. rare on any of the sport models these days.

 

TAXED TILL FEB 2014. MOT TILL JULY 2014

 

Fitted with Genuine refurbished 15" BMW BBS Alloys wheels including the spare. all have good 205 55 15 HANKOOK VENTUS PRIME  tyres

 

Rare optional on 318is a SPORT LEATHER INTERIOR

 

Also the cream of the options list a rare 4. 11 Limited Slip Differential. Retro fitted by myself at a cost of £450.

 

On top of the above must haves is the benefit of having a doors off full respray in 2k BMW Alpine white

 

Uncracked dash

 

The previous elderly owner owned the car from 1995 to 2011 and only done 30000 miles in that time.

I have owned the car for 2 years and have basically revamped most of the underside running gear excluding painting the rear swinging arms (I have spares in progress) and dealt with any rust problems.

 

I will not list every single service and work done as it would take forever and from the picture above you can see it covers and entire dining room table.

The following more recent work has been done on top of previous regular servicing at BMW up to 57000 miles

 

BMW Head Gasket and water pump replaced at 50000 miles in 2003. common issue with original parts. £775

BMW Rear Silencer replaced at 54926 miles in 2007 £394

BMW anti roll bar links. front flexis. Front discs and pads. Rear brake pads shoes and discs. replacement fuel hoses. fan belt. PAS belt. Etc at 55578 in 2008 £700

BMW battery 57000 miles  in 2011 £161.

 

In addition I personally have spent a small fortune on replacement items to bring the car up to a spec my obsession demands.

I HAVE CARRIED OUT SOME WELDING. TO  REPLACE THE FRONT FACTORY CRADLE MOUNTINGS. HEEL ARCHES AND UNDER THE HEADLIGHTS TO RESTORE THE CAR BACK TO A HIGH STANDARD. ALSO FITTED A REPLACEMENT FRONT PANEL AND NEW DRIVERS SIDE WING TO PREVENT FUTHER WORK BEING REQUIRED.

THE  HEADLIGHT ADJUSTABLE LEVEL ADJUSTER DOES NOT WORK (VERY FEW DO) AND THERE IS A SLIGHT OIL LEAK AROUND THE TIMING CHAIN COVER. . MINOR AND USUAL FOR THESE CARS  BUT TRYING TO COVER EVERYTHING

 

THE CAR IS 23 YEARS OLD AND NOT BEING SOLD AS MINT. ONCOURS. TC 

VIEW IT AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP.

IT IS A VERY PRESENTABLE EXAMPLE.

You could not buy a cheaper one with similar spec and mileage and get it to this standard for less UNLESS THE SELLER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE . fact

 

 

 

please No swaps. dreamers. test pilots. scammers or stupid offers as I do not need to sell this !

 

 

 

Car is available to view most evenings and weekends and i would encourage this.

cleared payment in full before car goes anywhere.
