Lot details

Registration No: G269 ALM
Chassis No: WBABA12010EB66541
MOT: April 2022

  • Recently recommissioned following a period of dry storage including a service and respray in its original livery
  • Warranted 70,400 miles from new as corroborated by its MOT history
  • Famously smooth 2-litre straight-six engine allied to five-speed manual transmission
  • Well preserved, factory-fitted interior and said to 'drive extremely well'

Far, far rarer than its saloon siblings, just 32,686 examples of BMW’s iconic E30-generation 320i Convertible were made (with most being to LHD specification). Powered by a 1991cc SOHC straight-six engine allied to either manual or automatic transmission, the four-seater droptop was reputedly capable of over 120mph.

Finished in Alpine White with Blue Cloth upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top, ‘G269 ALM’ is warranted to have covered some 70,400 miles from new (a figure corroborated by old MOTs on file). Recently recommissioned following a period of dry storage, the four-seater was serviced and treated to a good quality respray in its original livery. Pleasingly retaining its factory-fitted interior complete with optional leather covered Sports steering wheel, the Convertible is powered by BMW’s legendary M20 2-litre straight-six engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. Covering less than 2,000 miles over the past fifteen years, the 320i is said to ‘show no signs of corrosion’ and to ‘drive exceptionally well’. Riding on correct-type alloy wheels and described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this increasingly collectable E30 drop-top is offered for sale with history file and ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until April 2022.
