Highlights

Genuine Alpina alloy wheels
A very clean and well-presented example
MOT until September 2025
From the vendor -
Message to all potential buyers. I have pulled the car out of storage and have the car booked in this Wednesday coming for a full health check and will be getting all (if any) advisory’s rectified.

The Appeal

Often topping the list of peoples’ favourite 3 Series BMWs of all time, the E36 was ranked consistently in Car & Driver’s ‘10 Best’ list for every one of the ten years it was in production.

Here's a very clean and well-presented 1997 328I Coupé. It looks fantastic in silver over black leather upholstery, enhanced by M3 mirrors, a subtle boot spoiler, front splitter/rear diffuser and period Alpina alloy wheels. It’s a UK market car with just six former keepers and 66,045 miles on the odometer.

Offered with a long MOT with just one (very minor) advisory, this superbly well-preserved modern classic ‘Beemer’ is ready for a new custodian.

The vendor comments:

"Bought as a weekender and was searching for a very well-kept low-mileage example. My intention for it was something to keep long term, but unfortunately, moving country means she has to go."
