1988 BMW 3 Series E30

A rare and engaging take on the BMW E30 platform, this Hartge H27 is a bespoke, performance-focused saloon featuring a stroked 2.7-litre straight-six engine and distinctive cosmetic and handling upgrades. Its ‘M20’ inline-six has been stroked to 2.7-litres by Hartge, which drives the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer indicates 15,068 km, though this is not warranted. Based on the E30-era BMW 320i, the Hartge H27 features an upgraded powertrain, chassis stiffening, unique wheels and trim, and special badging. This example is finished in a timeless shade of white with contrasting black ‘Hartge’ side decals, over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring embroidered ‘König’ logos on the front seat backs, and grey Hartge front floor mats. It rides on a set of 16-inch Hartge multi-spoke split-rim alloy wheels fitted with Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tyres. Equipment includes electric windows, an on-board computer, air conditioning, a wooden gear knob, and VDO temperature and pressure gauges. This example has been further enhanced with Hartge front and rear strut braces, a Hartge-branded Momo steering wheel, a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and König front seats and door cards. The car is accompanied by an official Hartge booklet supplied with the decals, a spare Hartge wheel, a service invoice from Euromasters Automotive dated 29/11/2024, and previous sales receipts from 2008. One ignition key is present. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some paint blemishes on the exterior panels. The König seats and door cards have been retrimmed. The seller notes that the tachometer is currently inoperative. This Hartge H27 represents a distinctive slice of 1980s tuning culture, combining classic E30 styling with period performance upgrades by one of Germany’s most renowned BMW specialists. Featuring iconic Hartge detailing throughout, it is a compelling opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike, and would be ideal for weekend drives, classic meets, or as a centrepiece in a period BMW collection.
