    Introduction

    An excellent example of one of the last E30 3 Series Convertibles, and certainly one of the most original e30 cabs available for purchase. I purchased this car as a project from The Old Colonel Cars in Feb 2018. I have painstakingly returned the car to factory condition with all OEM parts. All mechanical and bodywork done by respected Classic Car specialists.
    During the lovely Summer in 2018 the car was a joy. I have showed the cars at the Terenure classic car show, and it’s a known car on BMW forums.
    This is one of the very rare, Neon Blue Motorsport Design Convertibles. The very last of the e30’s.
    They made only 200 Design Edition Convertibles, approx. 150 Blue and 50 Green. So, this is 1 of 150 examples, making it one of the rarest E30’s.
    This was an original UK car, imported into Ireland and stored by a collector, sold back into the UK and then brought back by me in 2018.

    Bodywork

    This example is finished in Neon Blue Metallic.
    The bodywork and paintwork are in lovely condition throughout, a lovely deep shine, the colour really goes well with this shape and the Black soft top.
    Original factory Pinstripe is new and in perfect condition. Alloys are OEM BBS 15’’ and are in excellent condition, recently refurbished. Tyres are new all round.
    Rust free.

    Soft-top

    Obviously, on any classic convertible, the condition of the roof is important. The roof on this car is in good condition, the rear screen is clear, the roof is manual so opens in seconds with ease. Was originally a motorised roof, but as you may know these are very hard to source part for so this has thankfully been professionally converted to a manual.
    So here we have an extremely rare E30 in lovely condition throughout.
    Interior
    Inside this car comes with the ‘Design Edition’ pinstriped Recaro interior.
    As you can hopefully see from the many pictures, this interior is in lovely shape. The Front seats / Rear seats / Door cards are all in lovely condition.
    The specification on this car includes PAS, ABS, Electric windows all round, Electric mirrors, Original stereo, Full toolkit etc Dash is not cracked. Motorised aerial works perfectly.
    Retrimmed original Mtech 2 steering wheel with proper textured leather.

    Documentation
    This car comes with full service history.
    I have all the manuals, the original service book, folder full of old MOT’s, service receipts, MOT History, HPI report etc, All receipts, NCT until April 2019.

    Engine
    The 1.8i engine starts and runs perfectly.
    These engines are very eager and smooth, providing ample power in this relatively light car. Revs quickly and keeps up easily with motorway traffic.
    Gearbox is in great condition with a new clutch 5k ago, shifts perfectly and precisely.
    These E30’s is a delight to drive, you really how well planted these cars are, but you can still have to rear wheel fun when needed. The suspension is not harsh, yet they handle very well.
    This car has just had the big, full Inspection II Service, Cambelt, MOT, all performed by A1 BN BMW Specialist, A Full overhaul with Motor Confidence well respected Irish BMW specialists when I purchased the car and extensive body work to return of the car to a totally stock OEM condition was carried out by a recognised classic car restorer in Ireland.

    The BMW E30 convertible is now getting the recognition it deserves. they really are one of the best usable classic convertibles you can buy now. This example with its low mileage, limited edition status and excellent service history, should prove a good investment going forward. I am selling as I want to move onto another project.
    I am asking strong money on this car, and even then, its below what the car owes me. This is not the car for somebody looking for a project, all the work is done. If you’re after a cheap e30 look elsewhere, if you’re after a sorted, classy e30 cab that will turn heads and is cheap to run and own and you appreciate small details and originality I welcome your enquiry.

    3 Keys. Car Cover included.

    Price €12,999 ovno.
