1995 BMW E36 325 TDS SE

Highlights

  • High SE specification
  • Incredibly low mileage
  • Excellent condition throughout
  • Performs brilliantly, with MOT until June 2023

The Appeal

Produced between 1990 and 2000, the E36 is perhaps one of BMW’s most popular retro platforms. In true BMW fashion, the E36 would of course be available across a wide range of trim levels, body styles, and engine configurations, including the 325 TDS saloon. 
First offered in 1995, the TDS would feature a turbocharged diesel straight six, capable of delivering buckets of torque, plenty of comforts, and respectable fuel economy. Being one of the even rarer “SE” models, this 325 TDS also boasts an additional range of improvements, including a full leather interior, power windows, an electric sunroof, and more. 

Impressively, this BMW has only covered an astonishingly low amount of miles over the years and now presents itself in excellent condition both inside and out. It’s a vehicle that would no doubt make a rare, yet capable daily driver, but would also serve as a superb low-mileage collection piece.

The Exterior

  • 15” alloy wheels, now showing minor curb rash, and minimal signs of age. The wheels are fitted with a matching set of Pirelli Cinturato P1 tyres, with tread left to enjoy
  • With the exception of the front registration plate and surround trim, all details, lights, and badging seemingly reflect plenty of care, and look great against the Hellrot paintwork
  • Overall, the vehicle appears to have aged rather gracefully, now seemingly showing only minor blemishes, and slight signs of its age

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
