1991 BMW E30 318is | London

The BMW E30 is the second-generation 3 Series, a compact rear-wheel-drive saloon built with a wide range of engines. The 318is has a 1.8-litre engine, and some enthusiasts call it a baby M3 for its sporty trim. This car is finished in red with a grey interior, and it is in very good condition. The paintwork looks clean and the cabin tidy, with a simple, driver-focused layout. Its square-cut lines catch the light well, and the red stands out against brick, concrete or greenery. For film and television, it grounds a scene in the late 1980s or early 1990s as an executive car or an aspirational young driver's first pride. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get strong colour and sharp angles, equally at home on an urban street or outside a corporate event. Couples after a retro arrival for their wedding will find it suits them too. The car is based in London.
