This BMW is part of a four car collection, 3 E30’s and a 3.0 CSi. It was purchased 15 years ago at the Bristol Classic Car show with 3 previous owners. It had 75,000 miles at that time and a 4 door car was needed for elderly parents. It now has a mileage just over 150,000.
When purchased the previous older owner had the car for 17 years and it was a cherished and maintained beyond manufacturers service guidelines.
As with older cars and with the higher mileage it was showing signs of bodywork ageing noticeably wheel arches and wing bottom edges so 5 years ago a full
exterior respray was carried out by a BMW specialist including all rust cut out and replacement outer and inner arches. New OEM wings were fitted rather than repaired.
Other than that the straight six 2.0L engine and manual gearbox have lasted well as has the cord cloth interior in medium grey. The only non standard item
over and above the original SE specification is a stainless steel exhaust system fitted at the time of purchase.
