1991 BMW 316i Lux | Chapmanslade, Wiltshire

This 1991 BMW 316i Lux is a fuel-injected 1.6-litre E30 3 Series, a compact, rear-drive saloon liked for its tidy proportions. The updated body brought larger rear lights, revised bumpers and less chrome, which gives it a cleaner look than the earliest E30s. This car is green with a grey interior, a quiet pairing that sits easily in a late-1980s or early-1990s scene. Its plain lines and restrained trim keep attention on the people and the place in shot, and it seats five. Period film and television work suits it, as an everyday saloon of the era. Photography and advertising get a modest, familiar BMW profile that works against modern or period backdrops. Music videos and events can use the same understated look. A wedding arrival or personal hire gets a restrained BMW look. The car is based in Chapmanslade, Wiltshire.
