Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThis E30 convertible has everything BMW fans could wish for: the coveted inline six-cylinder engine, leather sports seats, and a very low mileage of only approx. 70,000 kilometers. The condition of the body and interior is impressive and hard to find these days. As the car was part of a collection for many years, it has avoided the typical signs of wear and tear in the interior – the leather looks almost as good as it did when it was delivered in 1988. The car is only being sold due to its age. An ideal opportunity to secure a first-class E30 convertible!
