1985 BMW 318i E30/4
The BMW E30 is one of the most recognisable and admired compact sedans of the 1980s, remembered for its timeless styling, balanced chassis and reputation for quality. The 318i variant offered an accessible entry point into the range, delivering all the refinement and driving enjoyment of the platform in a practical and affordable package. Today, original and unmodified E30s are increasingly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This 1985 BMW 318i is presented in Blue over a 4-door sedan body style. Remarkably, it has been owned by the same family since new and comes with an exceptionally complete documentation history. Included are the logbook, original warranty, radio manual, every receipt since 1999, and a fully stamped service book up to the most recent service in July 2024.
The car retains its originality with air conditioning, power windows and alloy wheels. The vendor notes the air conditioning requires a regas, and the left rear wheel bearing is noisy, though a replacement part is supplied. Otherwise, it remains an authentic, unmodified example with 171,000 km indicated.
The E30 has earned cult status thanks to its motorsport pedigree and enduring reputation as the quintessential compact BMW. This well-documented, single-family-owned 318i represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine survivor that has been carefully preserved across nearly four decades.
