How many E30 318iS were imported in the USA?
« on: May 20, 2015, 07:22:51 AM »
Just wondering how many 1991 318iS were imported to the USA.  I'm trying to get some info for an insurance claim.

A worldwide total of 41,234 E30 318iS's were built between 1989 and 1992. So, the number in the US is obviously less than that, and the number left on the road is going to be a LOT less.

According to this thread (no link to an actual reference),  9,779 E30 318iS cars were shipped to the US.

Over 10 percent of the E30s shipped to Canada are in Norm's garage/driveway.
