1992 BMW E30 318i Manual Convertible – Mauritius Metallic Blue – LEFT HAND DRIVE.
A Proper Classic!
Hello there!
Feast your eyes on this absolute corker—a 1992 BMW 318i LHD Convertible, shining like a gem in Mauritius Metallic Blue with a bloody brilliant factory dark blue hood. Pop inside, and you’ve got grey check cloth sports seats (original seats should be leather but replaced with genuine BMW sports seats, but would be good to return to original factory spec), black trim, no rips or bother. She’s rolling on original BMW 5-spoke alloys, looking every bit the dashing classic, and yours for a cracking £9, 150!
We’ve been grafting away at the garage, getting her road-ready and MOT’d. New timing belt, spanking new water pump, two fresh front coil springs, and a full service—fluids flushed, new fuel pump, discs, pads, the lot. She’s had a full wheel alignment too, and the gearbox got a tune-up by BMW specialists in London. With only 97, 000 legit miles, this manual drives smoother than a Hugh Grant romcom—clutch and gears spot on, old chap. Oh, and we’ve chucked in a new battery plus four keys—yes, four!—to top it off. She’s raring to go!
Her Story: Born in Germany and first registered in Belgium, she rocked up in the UK in 2002, and has been with her last owner since 2008. Garaged since 2011 when he couldn’t drive anymore, we bought her in Feb 2025 and gave her the full spruce-up. Left-hand drive on UK plates? She’s perfect for a European holiday—imagine zipping through the French countryside or along the Italian coast, top down, wind in your barnet! V5, MOT, four keys sorted—you could be off today!
The Proper Bits: Electric roof drops like a dream (no tears, no fading), windows whizz up and down like magic, and the underside’s solid for a ‘92—bit of surface rust, sure, but no corrosion, just a solid chassis. HPI clear, no prangs, and kitted with factory M-Sport goodies—steering wheel and gearstick, straight from BMW’s glory days.
The Cheeky Quirks: She’s not showroom-perfect—yet, mind you. Alloys could do with a refurb, rear glass might want swapping down the road (no rush), and there’s some tinkering to enjoy—light bodywork, a touch of rust on the battery mount (easy fix), and those little Sunday jobs. She’s a belter with bags of potential—give her a full resto, and you’re talking £15, 000+ of pure class or around 18, 000+ Euros on the continent.
Fancy a Butcher’s? She’s up for grabs in North London at our BMW specialist garage—pop round, give us a bell to sort it! Proper Photos coming soon—she’s getting a full valet, bit of spit and polish, then we’ll show her off. Picture Mauritius Blue gleaming, grey check seats calling your name, all for £9, 150.
Priced as a top-notch original with huge potential, she’s ready to roll with room to shine brighter than a Notting Hill sunset. This isn’t just any motor—it’s a Mauritius Blue beauty, perfect for a European jaunt or a spin round the Smoke. Hurry up, though; with four keys and a price like that, she’s too lovely to hang about!
