This low mileage (54,070 miles) BMW 318i manual looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pictures. This is a particularly well preserved car that has had only three previous careful owners all of whom have known each other. The history file shows that the service history is very frequent and has been kept up. Most importantly the cam belt has just been changed along with a full service, These cars are coming into their own now as a classic and rightly so. This is a later car fitted with the 113bhp M40 engine which as a manual propels it to 60mph in 10.8 seconds.

The car is immaculate and the silver grey interior trim continues to look fresh which reflects the relatively low mileage. The door cards are all in perfect order. The car has a nice spec with electric windows front and rear, electric door mirrors, power steering, central locking, Panasonic radio and air conditioning. The original tool kit and a BMW first aid kit are also present.

The exterior paint which is Dolphin Grey Metallic is in super condition and apart from the odd small blemish, it again shows its relatively low mileage. The car has very original bodywork with perfect shuts and no evidence that it has needed any work in the past. It is a very original car.

The history file still contains the original stamped up service book, owner's handbook along with other material supplied when the car was new. There are lots of invoices covering the service history and other miscellaneous works over the years many of which are with BMW.

These cars are certainly starting to develop a following and judging from recent sale results such as the Brightwells March sale in which a very similar example was sold, values are on the up. If you are seeking a low mileage, well preserved and original E30 318i, this is it.
