1988 BMW E30 318i | Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear

A 1988 BMW E30 318i, from the second generation of the 3 Series. The E30 is known and liked for its compact rear-wheel-drive engineering, a roomy cabin for its size and clean, upright 1980s lines. The 318i has a 1.8-litre petrol engine. This car is white with a blue interior, a crisp pairing that reads clearly on camera. Its condition is excellent, so it stands up to close detail shots as well as wide ones. It seats four. The straight-edged shape suits period film and TV scenes and music videos set in the 1980s. White paintwork takes light cleanly, which helps in advertising, photography and fashion and editorial shoots. Weddings and personal hires also suit its tidy, upright looks. The car is based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear.
