- Low mileage car with FSH
- New MOT to January 2025 with no advisories

The Appeal
Rarely do 28 year old cars come our way quite like this one. This E36’s incredible condition is testament to the care and attention of its single owner since it first graced the road in October 1996.
Alongside the model’s much lauded dynamics, this example gives the lucky buyer either a ‘as new’ classic daily driver or a potential concours-winning show car. It is certainly a candidate for the podium at Festival of the Unexceptional 2024.
From the unmarked paintwork to the highly preserved interior and vast history file, this is a treasure for any enthusiast of the sort of car designed for family holidays rather than hooning around. Add in a long MOT to January 2025 - with no advisories - and you have surely one of the best preserved examples of BMW’s brilliant 90s saloon.
