The Appeal

Spring is springing and that makes it a perfect time to contemplate BMW’s drop top E36. Four seats, big boot, torquey M50 straight six and a 5spd manual box to keep things interesting mean that Munich’s classic convertible is ideal for passengers as well as drivers.

This 1993 325i with manual box comes to market fresh from a long list of recent maintenance. Work included a new radiator and water pump, various auxiliary and a/c belts, plus engine, differential and gearbox service. There is also a usefully long ITV valid to December 2026.

With all that effort put in by the current keeper, this tidy and usable car is ready to enjoy.
