Description
Well-preserved, original example of a classic E36 BMW 316i compact. 1. 6L petrol automatic. Original throughout and excellent condition. Same family since new.
New MOT to July 2027, new battery in April this year. Just 77, 000 miles added lightly and consistently - 1, 500-3, 500 miles every year for the last 20 years. Starts and runs smoothly. Transmission shifts as it should. Paintwork largely in great condition, and tidy well maintained interior.
Complete with V5, paperwork, three keys, spare wheel, original manual and tools.
Points to note for full transparency:
- Light cosmetic rust bubbling on the rear wheel arches. Underside solid as confirmed by recent MOT
- Some lacquer peeling on driver-side front wing panel
- The interior door cards are a little tired with loose clips, which is typical for E36s of this era, but perfectly usable as is
- Electric sunroof works intermittently, but can be wound manually with an Allen key when required
- Great Alpine sound system, though back left speaker distorts at high volume (rear speakers can be disabled on stereo)
Viewings welcome in Bristol (BS2). Please contact me to arrange a time or with any questions. Reliable and well cared for, it’s been in the family since new and regularly serviced with three careful owners (my grandmother, mother and me!) Just turned 30 years old so eligible for classic car policies.
Beautiful E36 shape in a striking colour.
