BMW 320i Cabriolet E30 (1988)

Louis Kalendruschat

Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

The 320i Convertible offered here is a sought-after manual transmission model with a six-cylinder engine. These models fetch the highest prices on the market. The extensive restoration carried out a few years ago is documented with photos, which is very important for maintaining the car's value. A service including a timing belt replacement was recently carried out, so the new owner can enjoy this open-top BMW right away.

Vehicle description

A 1988 BMW 320i Convertible (E30) is for sale in black metallic with red leather interior.

Highlights:

  • Sought-after six-cylinder engine with manual transmission
  • Current owner has owned the car for 13 years; extremely well-maintained collector's item
  • The current owner has extensively restored the BMW, including:
    • Completely overhauled engine (engine block honed, pistons and valves replaced, and valves machined - video available) approx. 10 years ago
    • New leather interior with M-style sports seats, high-quality original M nappa leather
    • Complete repainting approx. 12 years ago
    • Hot wax cavity sealing ("Mike Sander") of the empty body
    • Renewal of all wheel bearings, dampers, steering/track rods, and rubber bearings/bushings on the axles
    • Brake system completely overhauled
    • Clutch renewed
    • Windshield replaced
  • Prior to restoration, the car was used as a project vehicle for many years and was not driven, which is why the low mileage of 64,364 kilometers seems plausible
  • In March 2026, the timing belt was replaced, the valves were adjusted, and a service was performed
  • New tires (DOT 0825)
  • TÜV until February 2028 and H license plate

Model history

The BMW E30 was introduced in November 1982 as the successor to the first 3 Series (E21) and was further developed under design chief Claus Luthe. In contrast to its predecessor, the E30 was offered in significantly more variants, including two- and four-door sedans, convertibles, and later the Touring. With its diverse body styles and typical inline six-cylinder engines, the E30 became one of the most influential and successful generations of the BMW 3 Series.
