1989 BMW 325i SE | Leeds, West Yorkshire

A 1989 BMW 325i SE, from the E30 generation of the 3 Series. The E30 is liked for its compact rear-wheel-drive layout, balanced handling and a cabin that stays roomy for its size. The 325i is the 2.5-litre six-cylinder version. This car is finished in grey with a black interior, a sober pairing that sits easily in a late-1980s setting. The E30 body has the upright, squared-off lines of its decade, and the car seats four. Period film and TV scenes, automotive photography and advertising work all make use of that 1980s shape, while the plain colouring keeps attention on the location or the product. Music video and editorial shoots get an understated backdrop with a clear decade attached. It also makes a smart car for a wedding or a personal occasion. The car is based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
