1988 BMW E30 316i Facelift M10B18 H-Note 2 TÜV neu

A classic with history, character and future.

For sale is an exceptionally well maintained BMW E30 316i from 1988 - a vehicle that convinces not only by its condition, but above all by its history and rarity.

This model belongs to a very special transition phase at BMW: Facelift body combined with the legendary M10B18 engine – a configuration that was only built for about one year (approximately 30,000-40,000 vehicles). This combination makes this vehicle a real rarity among connoisseurs and lovers today.

The vehicle has been moved and maintained responsibly over decades. Complete history & extensive documentation From the first place to today almost completely understandable – a rareness in this form. 3 hand (2 thick folders). H approval with Note 2 is available. The first owner ordered this vehicle directly from BMW in 1988 and moved it over 21 years with exceptional care and low running performance. Also the following owners have always maintained and maintained the vehicle.

In our possession, the E30 has been completely technical and visually revised – with a focus on value retention, originality and substance.
