Summary
Take a step back into BMW's golden era with this beautiful 1990 BMW 318is E30, celebrated for its lightweight build, perfect balance, and engaging driving experience. Dubbed the Baby M3; the 318is offers spirited, high reving performance thanks to its 1.8L M42 engine, producing 136 hp in a chassis famed for razor-sharp handling. This car is completely original, featuring the iconic Lazer Blue paint(the blue 318is are slightly harder to come by than the red and white's) along with signature BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels. It’s an incredibly well-kept example with full maintenance history.
This is a unique opportunity to own a rare, increasingly sought-after classic that perfectly embodies BMW's engineering excellence of the 1990s. Whether you’re looking for a weekend driver or a car-show-ready collectible, this BMW 318is E30 delivers. Its lively, high-revving engine combined with a tight manual gearbox makes it one of the most enjoyable cars to drive.
This 1990 BMW 318is E30 has undergone an extensive restoration to bring it back to its former glory, with careful attention to preserving its classic charm. The interior has been preserved to an outstanding condition this includes the seats, carpets, and trims.
The proceeds of the vehicle are going towards another classic so I've priced this beauty as competitively as possible.
