This BMW 316i was delivered new on 25 May 1989 to its first owner via the Taurisson dealership in Brive. This coupé, with its sporty lines, is equipped with electric windows and an elegant interior with fabric upholstery. It doesn't appear to have been modified in any way since it was first new, and with good reason: the car remained in the hands of its first Brivé-based owner until he passed away in 2022. The logbook shows the 3 service inspections carried out by Garage Taurisson, and the car had just over 30,000 original km when its second and current owner bought it. The car had been placed in storage for a few years. A demanding Ferrari collector, he was seduced by the car's original condition and had it fully serviced by Garage Auto Passion 63, at a cost of €4,000. The timing belts, shock absorbers, fuel hoses, fuel pump, spark plugs, and all 4 tyres have been replaced. All the fluids have also been changed.

Today, the car has just under 32,000 km on the clock and is in a rare state of preservation. It has the smooth ride of a barely broken-in E30, with only a small exhaust leak to note. In the car's file, you'll find the folder containing all the original logbooks and the provisional registration document dating from 1989. With its clear history and low mileage, this car offers a veritable journey back in time.

 

Please note that the car is sold without the French technical inspection.
