The Appeal

The 3-series continues to be one of the perfect mid-sized entry points into BMW ownership, and previous generations are increasingly hailed for their more analogue, straightforward nature. Real driver's cars at their heart, and while you'll hear plenty of opinions, it's undeniable that the E36 is particularly well-regarded.

This 1997 M-Sport example has covered 37,000 miles and is accompanied by an extensive service history to verify it. The vendor describes the car as being in show condition, with a fine shine protected by the car's ceramic coating and a handsome cabin. It's now ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
