1988 BMW E30 316i Sport MTECH 2 | Colchester, Essex

A 1988 BMW E30 316i, from the compact rear-wheel-drive generation of 3 Series known for its wide engine range and a roomy cabin for its size. Its upright, neat 1980s lines have aged well and still read clearly as the decade. This car is Silver with a black interior, in Sport MTECH 2 trim. It has been meticulously restored to a standard above factory condition, with new parts throughout, so it looks sharp up close. NIKE and BMW have both used it in the past. Silver paint against a black interior gives photography, fashion and editorial shoots a clean, graphic subject, and the period shape suits 1980s-set film and TV and advertising. At events it draws looks wherever it parks. Weddings and personal hires suit it too, as a smart 1980s arrival. It is based in Colchester, Essex.
