It's recently been imported from Japan or Europe. Very common in Canada now as older than 10yrs of age are eligible for importation.

its 15 yrs. and yes it was imported from Japan

Bring that thing to the Picnic next year! Close ups of the seats and whats up with the floormat design?

Damn nice first car w/ low km's. I see you're in Victoria, mind me asking how much you paid for that? Over 10k?

i paid $8500CDN

are you sure about japan? Adjustable headlights = german model. Maybe it was an original german greymarket import (would explain why the steering wheel is on the "right" side)

Most BMW in Japan got LHD not the traditional RHD of former British Colonies.

It was ten years the rule has been revised according to Canadian web page to a more restrictive process.

That car is immaculate. Congrats on the purchase. Treat her nice, I wouldn't want to see that car get balled up.

yeah i wasn't sure how to actually adjust the headlights on it, under neath the light swith there is a knob with 1,2,3 and 0 and i think its for that, but dont know what it changes

Sweet that your first car is a BMW period!

I love picture nr. 2

Never seen that seat pattern look so good on a E30 Cabrio and your photo's bring out the seats even better. I've only seen these seats in Diamondblack 318iS 's and they were all worn.

if it was imported from JApan, those floormats might be Karoism floormats. not cheap at all... really not cheap

i tried to get a set shipped in for mine.... no one wanted to help out... :S
