vehicle description:

I bought this car 3 years ago and have used it every day.
When I bought it I just wanted a cheap but reliable car and because I love the old E30 shape thought I would give this a go.
I have been blown away by how unbelievably reliable these old BMWs are.
My wife also fell in love with it so we have just bought a very nice convertible version.
As such I now need to pass on this fantastic value runner.
The good points:
It is remarkably original. The numberplates and dealer sticker in the rear attest to its originality. Even the etched chassis numbers in the side windows are still there. It comes with the original sales document.It has every MOT certificate and a huge amount of original invoices, showing all the mileage as genuine and also that it has been well looked after and regularly serviced.The original Zinnobarot paintwork was re-sprayed about 3 or 4 years ago so still has a real lustre to it.It is completely original apart from a sporty exhaust system which sounds awesome and a set of reconditioned BBS wheels which make it stand out and an M-spec steering wheel too (original is included).The Timing belt was changed recently. This is the one thing you need to look out for with E30"s.It purrs and burbles and has fantastic feel and pull in acceleration and lovely progressive brakes. A joy to drive if you prefer analogue manual cars with no computers.
The bad points:
The interior is original but now tatty. The drivers side seat has a split on the bolster, the radio does not work, the glove box has a tear on it and the carpets are tired (I have bought aftermarket floor-mats to make it look nicer.) and the door handles need the plastic surrounds.The paintwork looks awesome but up close is not perfect. There are raised areas on the rear wheel-arches where it was repainted badly after being scraped and there are scar marks in the paint (hard to see) where bird poo was left on the car for too long while I was away.The central locking works but only by unlocking / locking the boot.
I think you have 3 main options with this car:
1) buy it as a runner and enjoy it as I have until you get so addicted to it that you go and buy a more expensive one.
2) restore the interior and get a detailer to tidy up the outside. With all of the paperwork included and such an original base to work from, it is a perfect start on restoring this to its former glory
3) strip it down, sell off the BBS wheels and get it track ready
Please give me a call if you have any questions - 07590 984 771
The car is based in CR3 and I will be around all weekend if you want to see it.
