The Appeal
Examples of the BMW 3 series are always popular and this one, a four-door automatic 320i, looks a lovely example. Owned by the current owner for the last 5 years and the previous owner for 8 years, it’s been well looked after with a full service history and is in great all-round original condition.
Values of E30’s have been in the ascendancy for a while so if you want to experience a creamy straight six in a classic compact bodyshell, then you’d best not delay.
The History and Paperwork
• Good service history
• Last serviced February 2022
• Current MOT expires 30 August 2022
• V5c present
• 2 original sets of keys
• Original handbook and service booklet
• Spare wheel and tools
The Interior
• Original hounds-tooth interior
• Good condition throughout
• OBC warning system
• Sunroof & power steering
The classic interior is in very good condition for the car’s age and the hounds-tooth seats and door cards have no rips or tears, which is always a bonus.
The rest of the interior is in good all-round used condition with good carpets and headlining and only a small crack in the dashboard, in contrast to many others.
Everything works as it should and you can tell that this is a car that has been treated well and looked after properly by some caring owners.
The Exterior
• Good all-round condition
• Four doors
• Excellent wheels and tyres
Finished in very attractive Cosmic Blue metallic paint with BBS alloy wheels the car looks fantastic. Its 80’s styling and lines are still very appealing and attractive to the eye.
There are a few small niggles to mention: there are a couple of poorly touched up stone chips and scratches around the car, there is a bit of loose rubber trim on the driver’s door that should be an easy fix, and the rear number plate surround needs to be tidied up.
But, importantly, all the shut-lines, trim, lights and windows are all very good and the car presents really nicely from all angles.
The Mechanics
• Good service history
• Last serviced in February 2022
• Smooth drive
This 320i has been driven daily and believed to have been garaged for much of its life with the previous owner. It has reportedly proved to be incredibly reliable and a joy to own. It will be sorely missed.
It’s been regularly maintained and serviced and looks in good all-round mechanical condition – a testament to all its previous owners.
Summary
This is a great, clean and honest example of the classic BMW 3 series with automatic gearbox, power steering and the legendary BMW six-cylinder engine.
Hugely practical and still great to drive, it’s a lovely, unmolested and original example of a great classic car.
