Here we have a clean body 1991 BMW 318i from the 2nd generation of 3-series'. The e30 3-series is the first generation of BMW's to receive a sedan & wagon body. It was produced from 1982 - 1994 & replaced the original e21 3-Series. This example is powered by the 1.8L M42 16v inline-4 engine & connected to the 5-speed manual Getrag 240 transmission. The 318i trim was only sold for 3 years during its generation; 1984-1985 & 1991. This 318i is in seemingly good condition and comes with a very strong recent service history.
Just like all other vehicles, this e30 generations final major update came in 1987 where the external styling changes included redesigned rear lights, front bumper & a reduction in the amount of chrome trim used. Other changes were the engines used in each trim but most notably an update for much improved rust protection. As we can see in the photos, this 318i has extremely little to no rust for a car of its age & with this mileage. Minor rust located on the driver side door.
Hagerty values a "#4 Fair Condition" to "#3 Good Condition" 1991 318i at roughly $6,000 to $17,500 CAD.
