BMW Seria 3 (1984)
BMW 318i E30 (1984)
The BMW E30 in the 318i variant is one of the most iconic classic models of the BMW brand, still widely regarded as a symbol of analog driving pleasure and timeless design. Produced between 1982 and 1994, the second generation of the 3 Series firmly established the model as a cornerstone of BMW’s identity, combining sporty character with everyday usability.
The presented example was imported from the German market, with its history confirmed by the original service book. The car is powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine designated M10, known for its durability, simplicity, and distinctive mechanical character. The unit is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to the rear wheels and ապահովing classic, engaging driving dynamics.
This vehicle stands out with its elegant color combination – Balticblau Metallic exterior paired with blue cloth upholstery, creating a cohesive and period-correct look typical of the 1980s.
The car has undergone a repaint and necessary bodywork repairs in Poland, and today presents very well both visually and structurally. The interior remains in original condition, showing only minor signs of wear consistent with its age. A key advantage of this example is the completeness of its factory trim elements and equipment details. The car features, among others, an automatic transmission, sunroof, BMW radio, and a cassette storage compartment – all elements that reflect the spirit of the era. Additionally, the vehicle sits on refurbished alloy wheels and features slightly lowered suspension using a dedicated set of springs and shock absorbers.
The E30 model is renowned for its lightweight, well-balanced body and precise handling, which continues to set a benchmark for driving enthusiasts. It is a car equally suited for daily classic driving, collector ownership, or as a base for tuning and motorsport projects.
