Description

This outstanding BMW 318i M Convertible has covered just 42, 000 miles from new, has had just four owners from new and comes with an impressive history file that includes handbooks, manuals and the original bill of sale. Cooper Bishopsgate Ltd in London, EC2A took the order for this car new on the 15th July 1991. It was ordered by a gentleman based on Hampstead Road, NW1 in Lagoon Green with optional factory extras to include Metallic paint, Leather sports seats, Electric hood, M-Technic steering wheel, De-chroming and upgraded wheels. The total price new was £22, 464. 75.
The original dealer pack manuals and service book are all with the car, the service book confirming the car was first registered on the 9th August 1991 and pre-delivery inspected on that day. Cooper Bishopgate in the heart of London's financial district carried out the cars first service at 1651 miles and again at 11032 and 18513 in 1992 and 1993. Four further service stamps (21560, 24066, 26124, 29800) with BMW main agents in the surrounding London area are recorded up to 1999 and also warranting mileage are MOT certificates dating back to the cars first ever MOT test at three years old.

Since 1999 the BMW has mainly been looked after by specialists and invoices are on file from 2008 recording various maintenance. The service book was stamped in 2005 at 36491 miles and from 2008 to 2024 the BMW has covered a further 5500 miles with MOT's recording the typical collectors car mileage over recent years. Invoices are on file for maintenance to include re-conditioning the power steering rack, replacement camshaft cover seal and front cambelt seal, new cambelt, clutch slave and master cylinder, replacement thermostat, new soft top cables, replacement hood control rod and eye joint, new rubber fuel lines, new brake discs and pads, genuine BMW rear exhaust silencer and Goodyear tyres.

This really is a time warp, it's a properly maintained, remarkably original and honest BMW E30. Its clearly led a very sheltered life, the bodywork is excellent throughout, the paintwork all these years on still of a lovely standard and the general finish of the car stunning. Body panels are perfectly straight, clearly the car has never been exposed to cause rust and corrosion, the interior is beautiful and original, the Black soft top hood excellent and the engine bay very nicely prepared and detailed as expected for a carefully owned low mileage car. On the road the car feels like an ultra low mileage cars, it firm, handles superbly and is glorious through the gears with a fantastic, strong low mileage engine. This is really as sharp as one could expect, its super clean, original and has the very important early history to include bill of sale that makes this a true collectors piece. This is a very correct, incredibly original car that really is a fabulous find that will be hard to repeat.
