This is ... a beautifully preserved 1991 BMW E30 318is, finished in Diamond Schwarz Metallic with grey interior. With just 105,000 miles and highly original, this example represents one of the cleanest and most honest E30s left.

Often referred to as the poor mans M3, the 318is is widely regarded as the best-driving non-M E30. Powered by the high-revving 1.8L M42 DOHC inline-four, this car delivers an engaging driving experience with excellent balance, lightweight feel, and classic BMW steering feedback. Power is sent through the factory drivetrain, making this a pure, analog drivers car.

Whether youre a BMW collector, an E30 purist, or someone looking for a classic driver that continues to appreciate, this original 318is is an exceptional opportunity. Cars like this are becoming increasingly scarceespecially in this condition, mileage, and factory-correct form.

This particular car stands out for its unmodified, original conditiona rarity as these cars become increasingly hard to find untouched. The exterior presents beautifully in Diamond Schwarz, a period-correct and highly desirable colour that highlights the E30s iconic lines. The body is incredibly clean and straight. Interior is equally original and immaculate. Car drives like it should. The only negative is that the paintwork on horizontal surfaces has some bird shit residue marks. There is also some cracking to dash.

A genuine E30 icon ready for its next custodian to use and enjoy.
