The seller offers for sale this 1993 BMW 318i Touring, powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This E30-generation Touring presents in silver over a grey cloth interior and drives and shifts as it should, needing only the usual attention expected of a car of this age. The body shows no significant rust, and the car has always been kept indoors. It is a straightforward, honest example of a body style that is becoming genuinely difficult to find.
The BMW 3 Series Touring, launched in 1987, was the first factory estate variant in the model’s history and remains, to this day, the only Touring version of the E30 generation ever built. It combined the E30’s celebrated rear-wheel-drive chassis and sporting character with genuine practicality, a formula that has made the model something of a cult classic among BMW enthusiasts. Fewer Tourings survive today than their sedan and coupe siblings, making well-kept examples increasingly sought after.
The 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual gearbox give this 318i Touring the same light, direct driving feel for which the E30 range is celebrated, while the extended roofline and tailgate add usable load space without compromising the car’s balanced dynamics. This is a car suited to the enthusiast looking for a characterful, usable classic rather than a garage queen.
