A couple of weeks ago we realized that spring and then summer should be here anytime soon (maybe?) and we started looking for a family friendly summer drive that could also be rented out. It should also be fun to drive, capable to manage long distance cruising and with a price tag below the 10/12k euros.

We think that the answer could be a BMW E30 Convertible. If you want to keep the price a little down you could pick the 6 cylinders 320i version, however if you are planning to keep it a little longer the most collectable (and fastest) choice is the 325i .

Prices vary depending on Kilometers and conditions, from around 5k up to 12k. So here is what we found, all with manual transmission.

 

1 From the Netherlands, the cheapest in decent and mostly original condition at 5499 euros

5 The top that we found this week is for sale at a French dealer with included original factory hard top. It seems really good, however at this price it could have less km on the clock and again from LeBonCoin France
