Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This desirable 1990 BMW 318iS, part of the renowned E30 range, is presented in Alpine White with an Anthracite Grey checkered interior. Although requiring some work, this rare example of the 318iS remains a sought-after model. Owned by its current keeper for the last eight years, it is one of the rarest and most collectible E30s after the legendary M3. Maintenance & History: This 318iS comes with a comprehensive history file, including MOTs dating back to 1994, service records, and parts invoices totaling over £23,000. Noteworthy recent work includes a September 2020 service with new wishbones, front drop links, and rear brake parts for £1,576.15. In October 2021, welding and paintwork were completed at a cost of £3,659, followed by another service and welding in October 2023 for £2,954.60. These invoices reflect ongoing attention to its upkeep, though some further restoration may be required. To add to this wealth of documentation, the original purchase invoice from April 1990 when Mr. & Mrs. Mintowt-Gyz bought the car new for £15,500 is included on file. The original BMW book pack is included as well, housing the Owner’s Handbook and a 1990/91 edition of the BMW service station directory. The Model: The BMW E30 318iS was one of the last models added to the E30 lineup, powered by the M42 16V DOHC engine, producing 136 BHP. Renowned for its balance of performance and efficiency, it was developed to rival the likes of the VW Golf GTI. With features like sports suspension, vented front discs, power steering, electric mirrors and windows, and M-tech sports styling, it was one of the most advanced models in the E30 range, delivering both agility and fuel efficiency, averaging 33 MPG with mixed driving. Sale Insight: Rare and highly collectible, this BMW 318iS represents a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors. While it may need some additional work, its rarity, comprehensive maintenance history, and desirable status in the E30 lineup make it a valuable find. |
