1990 BMW 325I E30 CABRIOLET

If you grew up in the golden era of cassette tapes, yuppies and perfectly tailored oversteer, you already know the magic of the BMW 325i Cabriolet. And if you didn’t, here’s your chance to fix that.

Available on our showroom floor is this 1990 Alpine White E30 325i Convertible. The car that taught an entire generation that sunshine and rear-wheel drive are a lifestyle choice.

Travelled just 100,700 kilometres from new, this example is about as close as you’ll get to hopping in a time machine and collecting it fresh from the showroom floor. It comes with a full BMW service history, meticulously maintained, properly stamped, and cared for by people who understood that “she’ll be right” is not a service interval.

Completely original and only ever cherished, this car hasn’t been modified, molested, “improved,” or fitted with questionable 2003-era chrome accessories. It remains exactly as Munich intended — balanced, analogue and gloriously mechanical.

The paint in classic Alpine White presents beautifully, the interior remains crisp and correct and the condition throughout can only be described as mint. It drives tight, smooth and eager, with that silky straight-six soundtrack reminding you why BMW built its reputation on engines like this.

Roof down, elbow out, mild 80s power suit energy activated.

Finding an E30 Cabriolet in this condition with this mileage and this history is no longer easy. Most have lived hard lives. This one has lived a charmed one.

If you’ve been waiting for the right E30, the honest one, the original one, the one you won’t need to apologise for.... well here it is.
