AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here comes a very special convertible from the BMW E30 series with H registration and Euro 2!

Blue Mauritius - stunningly beautiful 1993 BMW E30 318i Cabriolet of the 'Design Edition' (manual transmission)
Sporty and at the same time very economical. Reliable and fully suitable for everyday use.
This is one of the last convertibles of the BMW E30 range (first registered on 16.04.1993), which is currently turning into an absolute cult car.

I bought this Cabrio from a friend two years ago, who had kept it for eight years mostly in the underground garage of his villa near Saint Tropez. It has a well-documented history for a car of this model and, in spring 2025, after I had everything reconditioned, was in state 2+.
Then I lent it for three months to an Austrian film production that used it for shooting a new crime series. The lead actress Martina Ebm (known from, among others, 'Vorstadtweiber', 'SOKO Kitzbühel', 'SOKO Donau/SOKO Vienna', 'Tatort', 'Die Toten vom Bodensee', 'Cop Stories', 'Dennstein & Schwarz', 'Bad Fucking', 'Blind ermittelt', 'Die Hebamme', 'Spuren des Bösen', etc.) plays a police commissioner in it, and the Cabrio offered here is her car. The series with the production title

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
