1989 BMW 318i E30

The BMW E30 is one of the most beloved generations of the 3 Series, praised for its sharp handling, timeless design, and enduring build quality. Produced throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, the E30 has since become a cult classic, representing the era when BMW solidified its reputation as the maker of the “ultimate driving machine.”

This 1989 BMW 318i coupe is powered by a 1.8L inline-four petrol engine with automatic transmission, offering a smooth and accessible driving experience. Finished in Gold, it retains its understated and elegant factory styling. The odometer shows 241,593 km, and it comes with its original owner’s manual.

The E30 platform has long been admired not only by collectors but also by enthusiasts who recognise its motorsport pedigree, including its association with the legendary M3 that dominated touring car championships. Even the more modest 318i carries that same DNA, making it a popular entry point into the world of classic BMW ownership.
