This E30-generation BMW 318i is a charismatic modern classic sedan, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades and a full interior retrim. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre fuel-injected inline-four, delivering around 83kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This original Australian-market example has been with the seller and reportedly its third owner for five years. The odometer shows 180,455 Kms from new. This 318i is finished in the stylish shade of Diamond Black Metallic over a Cinnamon leather-trimmed interior. It rides on an aftermarket set of 17-inch BBS RS-replica split-rim alloy wheels fitted with Ardent Sport RX6 tyres. Equipment includes headlamp washers, a top-tinted windscreen, an analogue clock, air conditioning, and electrically adjustable door mirrors. The original sports seats, door cards, and steering wheel have been retrimmed in Cinnamon leather. It has also been upgraded with lowered King Spring suspension, a sports exhaust muffler, a 375mmM-Tech I steering wheel, smoked Hella headlights with wipers, fog lights, a JVC CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary inputs, and an M-Tech I rear spoiler. The seller notes that the car has a purple tag steering rack. The car comes with two keys, a space-saver spare wheel, a jack, the owner’s manuals with a grey plastic wallet, the service booklet, as well as the original wheel sand exhaust. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the seats, door cards and steering wheel have been retrimmed. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in June 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This 318i’s most recent maintenance was carried out in August 2024 at 179,800 Kms by Signature Tyres, which consisted of a major service, including new spark plugs, an engine oil and filter change, new fuel and air filters, the water pump and timing belt replaced, three new drive belts, and the air conditioning being re-gassed. Other notable maintenance includes engine oil and filter changes, new tyres fitted, and the wheels and tyres being balanced. This E30-generation BMW 318i is a popular and stylish modern classic sedan, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades and a full interior retrim. Presented with instantly recognisable boxy styling, a timeless colour scheme, a tastefully reupholstered cabin, and boasting a dependable inline-four engine coupled to a smooth-shifting automatic gearbox, it would make a charismatic companion for retro daily driving, weekend cruising, and longer-distance road trips alike.
