The Appeal

The E30 is rightly revered as one of the best BMW designs to come to fruition and it’s easy to see why. Compact, elegant and boasting great driving dynamics, the second generation of 3 Series is many enthusiasts’ favourite to this day, and the 318is is amongst the most highly regarded variants.

We’re delighted to offer this 1990 318is M-Technic, which is presented in very good original condition. Featuring the M-Technic styling package from new, the vendor informs us that even the black paintwork is original, making this a rather special machine. For those on the lookout for an authentic example that’s not too pristine to enjoy as BMW intended, then don’t miss this excellent opportunity.
