1988 BMW 3 SERIES

* Recently spent over £3k on new soft top roof with tension straps, new timing belt and water pump, oil service with oil and air filters.

A stunning example of a 1988 BMW E30 325i. Brand new soft top and newly refurbished original BBS 15inch wheels. Finished in Alpine White, a timeless 80's classic that turns heads wherever it goes and delivers the analogue driving experience that made these cars legendary. The smooth and powerful 2.5-litre straight-six engine, rear-wheel drive and manual roof make every drive an occasion in a way few modern cars can replicate. It comes with extensive history and a full MOT. In 2021 the car underwent a comprehensive bodywork restoration by Berkshire Bodyshop costing over £4k. Work included replacement of the inner and outer rear wheel arches, rear boot corners, repairs to the sills, rear valance and front wheel arches.

Mechanically it has also benefited from major investment. In 2024 the front suspension was overhauled with new wishbones, anti-roll bar components, lower arm bushes and all ball joints replaced. It has also had four new tyres fitted.

The interior retains its classic charm while benefiting from a Blaupunkt Valencia stereo, offering Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calling, combining modern convenience with a period-correct appearance.

Specification includes electric windows, power steering and the superb 2.5-litre BMW straight-six engine, renowned for its smoothness, reliability and character.

Registered on 19/10/1988, this E30 qualifies for classic car insurance, making ownership surprisingly affordable. It is a reliable, usable classic that's equally suited to weekend drives, shows or simply enjoying with the roof down.

This is a beautifully presented, well-maintained example with significant recent expenditure and all the right work already completed. If you're looking for a genuine E30 325i Convertible that has been cared for properly and is ready to enjoy, this is an excellent opportunity.
