Purchased 1989 (E30) 318i German Specs

Kamando · 12-12-2009, 12:16 PM

Stationed in Germany and was looking for a "beater" to keep the miles off of my E92 335i. Came across a non-beater 318i. The previous owner inherited the car from his Grandparents who took really good care of this car. Only 45,803km were on the car when this guy sold it to me. Exterior has a few scratches and a small dent (understandable for a 1989), no rust, the inside is in amazing shape for a 20 year old car. This car runs great everything works. Came with new winter tires and current TÜV inspections.

Nice ride. I was stationed north of Spangdahlem from 2006 till earlier this year. The Germans keep their vehicles relatively nice, considering they have to go through TUV inspections. I had a 1992 525i and that thing ran like a champ... went EVERYWHERE with it. Extremely good find on your E30, especially for it's age. Take good care of it - you may even be able to bring it back to the States when you PCS.

Nice. Will be good on gas too. In fact, something tells me you're going to end up driving it more than your new BMW which you will probably end up selling.

Exactly what I am trying to do.

Nice, can never go wrong with a E30.

Spec 1 · 12-14-2009, 12:33 PM

Same car I purchased a few years back! Ended up selling my other car and dumping a bunch of money into the E30 to customize/upgrade. Have put over 70,000 miles on my car since purchasing and am still in love.

Congrats!
