Just imported from EU on 25 year rule, legal both EPA and DOT. Rare even in Europe, 1987 E30 324D 2 door. I have had owned several E30 diesels some 20 plus years ago, all ware 4 door or touring models. This example is finished in burgundrot metallic that looks to be largely original. Really clean car with functioning sunroof. There is no apparent rust other than one tiny bubble shown in the pictures. If not familiar with those engines, M21 was very popular in Europe, aspirated and turbo version. Unlike other period diesel engines this motor runs much smoother and quieter, yet still quick and economical. US market has seen it in 1984 and 1985 Bmw 524td, sadly only as automatic, as well as Lincoln continental MKVII of same vintage and some Vixen motor homes. Based on M20 engine but with much stronger internals.

Short first gear takes a bit to get use to but very drive able car. Shows 121k kilometers witch loosely translates into 76K miles. Odometer and speedometer are in working order, however I'm not sure how accurate that is. I have seen paper stating timing belt has been done some 10k kilometers ago. Engine starts right up, smooth and no hesitation. I have replaced few things on the car, as I felt car would benefit from. New Dunlop tires just installed on factory BMW 15" wheels, as old set was still with good tread but old and I didn't trust them. Spare appears to have never been used. Valve cover gasket and injector return lines have been also replaced due to age. Engine is dry and free of any leaks, so is the rest of the car. Exhaust has no leaks but has seen better days, and even it has full function right now, probably not for very long. Good news is, very simple system and no catalytic converter.

Steering wheel has been refurbished while still in Europe, new leather has been applied and it looks and feels excellent. BMW looks to be lowered some, handles excellent, smooth ride, owns the road.

This is a drivers car, has no power steering, yet steering is very smooth and light.
