The E30 generation cemented BMW as the market leader in the medium-sized saloon sector, and although it looked little different from its predecessor, thanks to understated styling by Claus Luthe, it was far more convincingly engineered and far better to drive

The Convertible made do with a strengthened windscreen surround (instead of the full roll-over structure), which gave it an incredibly clean design

Powered by BMW's 2.5-litre, M20B25 naturally aspirated Inline-6 offering 171bhp and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds

Finished in Brilliant Red with a Silver/Grey cloth and leather interior, this well presented four-seater convertible was supplied new by BMW Main Dealer Bavarian Garages of Belfast

The history file contains multiple invoices and the service record shows ten Bavarian service stamps up to 2001 and 65,404 miles

The second owner, Mr Carruthers, then took the BMW to Malaga Spain which is all documented and includes service work conducted in Malaga. It returned to the UK in 2013

Further invoices show service work and MOTs until July 2026 carried out by Station Garage of Rayleigh

A fine example of BMW's good looking and versatile, classic convertible at an attractive guide.
