1990 BMW 3 SERIES

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

The E30 3-Series, launched in the early 1980s, remains among BMW's most admired compact saloons, valued for its precise handling, balanced chassis and durable engineering with the 325i sitting at the top of the range

Finished in Glacier Blue Metallic over an Indigo Blue leather, this SE-specification 325i Automatic saloon was supplied new by Hexagon of Highgate, BMW's North London dealership

It has largely remained owned the same family since the consigning owner's father purchased it in November of 1990, being sold to a colleague some years ago with the current custodian bringing it back into family ownership in April 2024

Drive is provided by BMW's esteemed 2494cc M20 straight-six offering 171bhp sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission

This example also benefits from the SE-spec which includes an onboard trip computer, electric windows, air conditioning and a sunroof

Presented in clean order commensurate with age, the car has covered a modest average of under 1,700 miles a year and shows 62,692 miles on the odometer, with the current MOT valid until November 2026. Offered with a pleasing history file and supplying dealer invoice

The, much revered, E30 generation of BMW’s stalwart 3-Series are becoming increasingly difficult to find in good condition and the example offered here must be considered by any enthusiast of the Bavarian manufacturer
