Like the Skoda featured in the preceding post, this BMW has something to do with open-air fun. But the E30 here ditches the top completely. Despite the ostentatious looks, this 1986 3-series Cabriolet is a mere 320i. So no revvy 318i, or burlier 325i – just the middle-of-the-road M20B20. But cosmetically, it’s perfect.
The location is the Café Carusel parking lot, over at the more well-to-do section of Helsinki. This is pretty much where you go show off your summer wheels. And if you have gold BBS, the better.
The smoked lenses up front give the dark BMW a menacing appearance. The plates mark the car down as a “2D Sedan”, so somewhere along the way it has been converted into a convertible. Things like this were common back in the day when people built Camarominos and the like; what you see here has most likely been realised by combining a humble 320i with the body of a fully-loaded, tax-free German cabriolet at some point.
It’s likely the BMW has been at least partially restored recently. The paint on it looks very good, and it somehow gives out the feel someone has spent a lot of time bringing it to the shape it’s in.
