The Appeal
The E36 was a particularly refined and driver-friendly iteration of the 3-series, even if it wasn't quite a performance machine. This was a car that felt fun and responsive, with top-notch suspension and a perky engine that quickly made the 318iS the darling of the motorway. While BMW fans are legendary for their six-cylinder passions, it's undeniable that a four-cylinder like this one is a simply excellent car.
The 318iS isn't a track beast - it's the perfect car for long, windy drives and doing so at its own pace - it's still capable of a fine turn of speed, but it doesn't get there aggressively. The sweet-running M44 is disciplined and capable.
This particular example stands out for its remarkable originality and low mileage, having covered just 39,994 miles in its 26-year lifetime. This fabulous car has been meticulously maintained and garage-stored throughout its life, and still looks in fabulous order. With only two former registered keepers from new and a consistent MOT history showing minimal advisories, it's a solid package.
