The Appeal
The E36 was a hugely popular saloon that changed the saloon car landscape in the '90s, so it is a surprise to realise how few good, original, unmolested cars like this one remain in circulation.
It is a really smartly presented car, finished in Calypso Red metallic with a Sand Beige full leather interior. It features the excellent 2.8L M52 190bhp straight six mated to BMW’s versatile 5spd automatic gearbox.
The car’s trio of keepers have kept on top of maintenance and servicing. The service book shows a run of 18 BMW stamps to 72,680 miles, and there is a large number of invoices for recent work. This includes a full service and more. The full list is below.
This car is now 30 years old, yet would work well as a daily driver, or has the potential to be a star of marque and specialist shows.
