'Full BMW service history except the last three' does that mean the last three are missing,(not been serviced), or they are not BMW stamps?

£2.5K would be about right I think, assuming it has been serviced fully and it being rot/rust free.

It appears to be in very good order with decent history. The price does seem a little high to me given the engine it has.

A 325 could might that price but I think it's pretty ambitious for a 318. Thing is with cars like these, they are normally bought by the heart instead of the head so any yahoo could see it and think it's a steal. Vendors bank on those people seeing their ad.

thanks guys, it is a 'Ltd Ed' allegedly I am guessing that gives it a higher price even though it has the wrong engine...

I'm not an e30 expert, but from memory & a mate who had one, the last few run out cars were either 318s like this one in either this blue or a metallic green (his was green) with the interior striping on the seats or 325s with M sport bits & bobs. Whether that makes it truly a "limited edition" or a parts bin special, not sure, but don't think they were specially badged or named. Nice little summer runabout though, lovely colour.

Correct run-out model.

I have heard that they only made 200 of these, yes the idea is for a bit of summer fun and my wife loves the colour, as do I!

Would I miss a striaght six though...?

[J888SXY]

Is it the same 140 bhp unit as in the 318iS or the normal 318 engine?

This is on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LIMITED-EDITION-1992-BMW-318... with a bit more info, up to £2k so far I think. There are about 3 others on ebay as well. Like this -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-BMW-E30-318-I-CONVERTIB...


Was the limited edition green and blue only? I remember an old girlfriend having the keys to mummy's brand new K reg E30 cab which was metallic wine red. Damn, I should have stayed with her.
