Comments from the seller
Classic BMW – Factory Manual | Club Rego | Exceptional Condition
Reluctant sale of my much-loved classic BMW — a true old-school driver’s car that’s getting harder to find in this condition. Factory manual, factory electric sunroof, and that unmistakable solid German feel that modern cars just don’t have.
I’m the 3rd owner, purchased in 2015 from an older gentleman. Since then it’s been garaged, covered, and meticulously cared for, driven only once a week to keep everything running perfectly. Never seen rain.
✅ Full paperwork included, even the original dealer warranty card
✅ Major maintenance already done — new radiator, shocks all around, alternator rebuild, welsh plug and more (all receipts available)
✅ No rust, drives beautifully and feels tight
✅ 3 sets of wheels included + original steering wheel (currently running a clean E30 wheel)
✅ Original old-school FM radio still fitted
✅ Old German tow bar
✅ On club registration (not transferable)
This is a sorted car, not a project — thousands already spent so the next owner can just enjoy it. A genuine opportunity to own a well-kept classic BMW at great value.
RWC can be supplied at extra cost (happy to adjust price if sold without it).
Only selling due to downsizing and needing garage space.
Genuine buyers only. No lowballers. Reasonable offers considered.
Thanks 🙏
