Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

The E30 Convertible is one of the most popular classic BMW models and is known for retaining its value well. The 318i Convertible offered here stands out for its classic color combination, its excellent condition, and the fact that it has been in the same ownership for many years. A very attractive E30 for sunny days.

    Technik: Nach 15 Jahren ohne Cabriolet in der BMW-Modellpalette wurde auf der IAA 1985 der offene BMW 325i vorgestellt. Später rundeten der 320i (ab 1987) und der 318i (mit dem Facelift zum Modell 91) das Cabrioletprogramm nach unten ab. Im September 1988 erschien das M3-Cabrio, welches zwischen Juni 1988 und Juni 1991 nur 786-mal gebaut wurde. In den USA wurde das 318i Cabrio mit dem Vierventil Motor M42 ausgeliefert (Bauzeit Juli 90 bis Dezember 1992). Um das Cabriolet verwindungssteif zu machen, wurden Karosserie, Schweller und der Scheibenrahmen verstärkt. Dadurch stieg das Gewicht des offenen Fahrzeugs um circa 125 kg gegenüber seinem geschlossenen Pendant. Das Stoffverdeck konnte später auf Wunsch auch elektrisch (beim M3 Serie) versenkt werden (anfangs elektrohydraulisch, später elektromotorisch) und verschwand unter einer flachen Verdeckklappe. Ebenfalls erhältlich war ein Hardtop mit Vinylbezug von BMW und ein in Wagenfarbe lackierbares Hardtop der Firma Wiesmann. LG Tom
