Introduction

Four-seater practicality and classic elegance makes the BMW E30 Convertible a desirable modern classic.
The E30 3-Series was unique as a compact-premium model in many respects. Aside from the well-known use of RWD and top-notch build quality, the E30 maintained a prestigious image beyond its contemporaries. Launched in 1983, its status helped it to become the default choice for many of the burgeoning upwardly mobile climbers. A bastion of good taste and sophistication, the E30 became BMW’s best-selling model of the 80s, not just for its potential curtain-twitching envy, but for the satisfaction of knowing that you own a dependable and well-designed piece of machinery. This cultivated aspect of the E30 came from the reputation of the BMW badge, but also its built-in safety and driver appeal. In convertible form, its status never faded and aside from a few expensive alternatives, there were very few open-topped sporting cars that could offer so much. The Lux specification meant you’d have metallic paint, 6-speaker RDS audio and cross-spoke alloys, and these last edition convertibles had leather interiors and electric hoods as standard. Overlapping the next generation of 3-Series, the lucky few who bought the E30 convertibles tended to look after them.
This 1993 manual gearbox 318i Lux Convertible is finished in "Glacier Blue" with a leather interior. It has an impressive maintenance and service history, backed by ~£25,000 worth of invoices since the early 2000s. It was last serviced around just ~400 miles ago, has an MOT to April 2025, and comes with two keys and its full owner's wallet.
