BMW E30 Restoration

Rust repairs, panel restoration, preparation and paintwork carried out to restore this Camper to a high standard.

Few vehicles have achieved the legendary status of the BMW E30. Known for its timeless styling, engaging driving experience, and strong enthusiast following, the E30 remains one of the most sought-after classic BMW models.

Recently, Assured Autobodies was entrusted with the restoration of a BMW E30 that had spent many years off the road. The vehicle had significant cosmetic and structural issues but offered the perfect foundation for a full restoration project.

The owner’s vision was to restore the vehicle to a condition worthy of its iconic reputation while preserving its originality wherever possible.

Initial Condition

Following a detailed inspection, our team identified a number of common E30 restoration challenges, including:

  • Corrosion around wheel arches
  • Rust in lower sill sections
  • Paint deterioration
  • Surface corrosion around panel edges

As with many classic vehicles, much of the work involved addressing hidden corrosion that had developed over decades. Specialist welding repairs and careful metal fabrication formed an important part of the restoration process.
