The superb E30 series of BMW compact saloons and coupes ran from 1982 until 1994 and for many enthusiasts, were the last of the real driver-focused models from BMW.

Later 3-Series became increasingly heavy, and although regular injections of extra power made them faster, they lost much of the pep and brio of the simpler and lighter models. It is worth remembering that the first M3, widely regarded as the finest handling BMW ever made, was based on the E30 chassis and is now seriously expensive and collectable today.

This well cared for 320i Cabriolet Automatic comes with its original bill of sale which totalled £21,782. Ordered in Brilliant Red with Anthracite interior, its string of extra-cost options included Cross-Spoke alloys, heated mirrors and door locks, de-chroming, an M-tec steering-wheel, BMW over-mats and mudflaps, rear head rests and a £397 Panasonic Radio - no wonder BMW had a reputation for selling base-spec cars and then charging for everything on top!

It has covered 90,000 miles since delivery and retains its two sets of keys, original took kit and first-aid kit. The log book shows that it has had 4 previous keepers and the document file includes a raft of service bills, many from Robert Stern’s of Worcester giving its maintenance history from 1991 until 2008 by which time it had covered 77,321 miles. Its MOT is current until September 2015 and it looks just the ticket for the blazing hot summer that’s on its way.
