BMW 325 318i Cabriolet 1994

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

Brought to the market as an entry-level luxury car, the E30 chassis spanned twelve years of production. It replaced the E21 in 1982 and overlapped its successor, the E36 (introduced in 1990), by four years.

Early models featured the 4-pot M10 and straight-6 M20 engines used in the E21. The major update for the E30 took place in 1987 where the M20 engine was fitted with Bosch Motronic injection and the M10 was replaced by the M40 engine, again utilising Motronic. The chrome bumpers were also replaced with black or coloured ones in late 1989, with the rear light clusters also made slightly bigger during this minor facelift. E30s are now referred to as pre-facelift (chrome bumpers) or facelift (plastic bumpers).

The E30 boasted a spacious cabin and a light curb weight. This was due to the suspension design that utilised Macpherson front struts and rear semi-trailing arms. It was also the first 3-Series to receive a service light indicator and warning light. The 325i convertible was the first drop-top solely built by BMW, with early E30s being converted by Baur, a coachbuilder located in Stuttgart credited with early full factory authorisation BMW convertibles (1602, 2002 and E21s). To strengthen the chassis and reduce scuttle shake BMW added plates to the front suspension turrets and built-in chassis beams down the length of the car, which helped to reduce flex or twist in the chassis after removing the metal roof.

Equipment

Brilliant Red paintwork, Anthracite chequered cloth upholstery, Electric folding soft-top in black, 14-inch BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels, Electric windows front and rear, Electrically-adjustable door mirrors, Rear headrests, Front fog lights, Analogue dash clock, BMW Bavaria cassette radio, Electric aerial, Alloy spare wheel, BMW toolkit, Spare key.

Exterior

The Brilliant Red paintwork has a deep, lustful shine and along both sides the car is nice and straight with no unsightly scrapes or scuffs to report. There are no signs of corrosion in any of the usual E30 weak spots such as the wheel arches or scuttle panel, the only real imperfections to report being a handful of light stone chips and one or two minor car park dings. All in all, a lovely low mileage example, ready to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.

Interior

The cabrio’s sports seats are in excellent original condition, the Anthracite chequered cloth showing almost no wear to the bolsters. Glancing across the dash there are none of the usual cracks to be found, and the steering wheel still retains a great textured finish. All the switchgear works just as it should, including the rare electric hood option, and pleasingly the original BMW Bavaria cassette player remains in place. At the rear of the car you’ll find a spotless boot space equipped with the BMW toolkit, jack, and alloy spare wheel.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The peppy 1.8-litre engine fires into life first turn of the key and idles smoothly up to temperature. Lifting the bonnet reveals a very tidy engine bay with many components still coated in their protective factory wax. There are also no signs of any rust to the inner wings or chassis rails. Since arriving at 4 Star the car has been fully inspected and freshly serviced for the new keeper’s peace of mind. The MOT is valid until July 2021.

History File

This cracking little E30 was first registered in February 1994. It was purchased by the current owner way back in 2007 and has now driven a total of just 45,900 miles. Under current ownership the car has covered little over 5k miles, always remaining garaged when not in use. The accompanying History File is complete with plenty of old MOT certificates, a raft of maintenance invoices dating back to 1995, and the original document pack with owners’ manuals. Fully inspected and freshly serviced, she’s good to go.
