I have owned the car since March 2018 and know the previous 2 owners.
Car is located in Lincoln.

Repair BM54 and add streaming bluetooth
Replace battery with genuine BMW AGM
Replace tailgate lock/no plate bar - genuine BMW

2 x rear airbags renewed.
air distributor valve renewed

I have not spared any expense in maintaining this car, as I needed it reliable. So why, you may ask am I selling it now? Well, I am planning my retirement in the new year and with this being a petrol vehicle, it is a little thirstier than the diesel variants. Ona run expect around 22 - 24mpg.

It is fitted with LPG but I removed the tank to replace the battery and never got round to refitting the gas. All the parts are still there and go with the sale.
The driver's seat bolster is worn and some of the pixels on the dash are missing, but nothing unreadable.

Thanks for the detail and compliment.
Sorry - the E30 is not for sale. I bought it 14 years ago for £70 and hoping to get my money's worth out of it soon!
