Description
The four wheel drive E30 estate was only made in LHD and only sold new in alpine regions of Europe. It is the original BMW 4WD SUV.
A two owner car with a fully documented history from new. The car was originally sold new in Switzerland and still sports the Swiss motorway pass stickers on the windscreen. BMW service history stamped to 110 kms, with many invoices for maintenance and repairs including the original sales invoice. The car was imported to the UK by the original owner in the early 90's and subsequently imported to Ireland by myself, the second owner, in 2016. I've had the car regularly serviced and maintained since then. Over the years I've had the water pump & belts; fuel tank, lines, pump & filter; clutch master and slave cylinders all replaced. Earlier this year I had the front suspension fully rebuilt with new springs, shocks, lower wishbones/ bushes and drop links.
I drive it regularly but no longer have storage since recent move. The car drives great, is on the button and has now covered 155k kms
It has a vaild NCT to March 2026
It presents really well, the silver paintwork is mostly original (rust repaired on the lower rear chassis five years ago) but does show some lacquer peel on bonnet and drivers door, a small surface rust spot on rear boot lid and at petrol filler.
Inside the grey cloth upholstery is in very good condition, almost like new with no signs of wear. The rear seats have headrests, an optional extra at the time. There are no cracks in dashboard and all instruments are working. Headliner is, however, sagging and will need to be sorted.
It runs on original BMW BBS 15" alloys but the original metric alloys (including spare) also come with the car. They are fully refurbished with Michelin TDX tyres fitted to 4.
Happy to discuss the car more fully with genuinely interested parties.
A reluctant sale, asking €15, 950 or near offerThe car is a joy to drive. The smooth straight six engine effortlessly hustling the car through back roads and motorways alike. Like all 3 series of the era, it really handles superbly.
