The BMW E36 3-Series coupe is widely regarded as one of BMW's most successful designs, offering the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and timeless styling. It took the company into the millennium with remarkable style, and even some twenty-six years later, it is still revered as one of the company's greatest triumphs.
As a result, a modern-day enthusiast is bound to clamour for a good one. Smooth, torquey performance, a comfortable cabin and nimble handling set it up as one of those BMWs that can turn even the most jaded driver into a Munich loyalist. Of course, as a result, the majority of these incredible cars work up huge mileages.
This 1999 example defies that. It's been with its current owner since 2002, and from new has racked up a remarkably low 28,300 miles. The styling has been gently upgraded with inspiration from the much-loved M-car variant, while the mechanics are true to factory. It's a car to please everyone, and we expect it'll pick up plenty of well-deserved interest.
