1989 BMW 316i Lux | Ipswich, Suffolk

A 1989 BMW 316i Lux, the fuel-injected 1.6-litre four-cylinder version of the E30 3 Series saloon. The E30 is liked for its compact proportions, rear-wheel drive and clean, upright lines. The updated body carries larger rear lights, revised bumpers and less chrome. This car is white with a black interior, a crisp high-contrast pairing that reads cleanly on camera. The Lux trim brings a more refined cabin, and the car is in very good condition. It seats four, with a four-headlamp front and a straight-edged saloon profile that places it firmly in the late 1980s. Its period look suits film and television scenes set in the 1980s, where an everyday executive saloon is what the script needs. The white paint and dark cabin give photographers, fashion and editorial teams and advertising crews a graphic, uncluttered subject, and the familiar BMW profile works in music videos and at events. Couples can also use it for a restrained wedding arrival. It is based in Ipswich, Suffolk.
