We are very pleased to bring to market this very nice BMW 328i Convertible automatic. This lovely example originated in South Africia in 1996 and was then registered on the Isle of Man in 1999, where the paperwork would lead us to believe it has been ever since. The BMW is finished in Alpine white with light silver-grey leather, possibly a colour combination that you would not see in the UK back in 1996, making this example very unusual and desirable. This is finished off with a black hood. You would be hard pushed to find another in this combination.

The specification is rather nice and a little different from a UK example, so it could be standard in South Africa or possibly extras from the factory. It has sports seats, power hood, passenger airbag, wind deflector, front fog lights and half colour coded bumpers, all of which make this BMW look very good and a little different from a UK supplied example in a good way. The BMW has an automatic gearbox and its original radio cassette, making us think that this is how it left the factory, but please check for yourself. There is a little bit of paperwork such as invoices and receipts, including one showing it sold on the Island by a dealer, and its original book pack with handbooks and manuals.

Being 30 years old you might expect it may look worn, but it doesn’t, it presents very well and does not look its age. There are a few marks on the hood and into the rear screen, which should be easily rectified if you would bother at all. The best thing about this BMW though, is that it is being offered at No Reserve - now that represents a great opportunity and a very tempting one. This is one of those cars that doesn’t come around very often, so if BMWs are your thing, this is one to take a closer look at.
