1998 BMW 328i M Sport Coupé E36

Highlights

  • Rare and sought-after Techno Violet colour
  • Less than 5,000 miles covered in the last 10 years
  • Fresh MOT until April 2026 with no advisories
  • Comprehensive M3 Evo upgrades including wheels, steering wheel and front splitter
  • Extensive recent mechanical overhaul with premium components at considerable expense


The Appeal

There's a compelling case to be made for the 328i Sport representing the sweet spot in BMW's E36 3-Series range, offering an engaging driving experience with its responsive straight-six engine and balanced chassis. This 1998 example stands out for its desirable Techno Violet paintwork - one of BMW's most collectable period colours - and has been thoughtfully enhanced with genuine M3 Evo components.

Having been in the current ownership for 8 years and driven sparingly in only favourable conditions, this 328i Sport presents an opportunity to acquire a well-preserved and tastefully upgraded modern classic.

The vendor summarises:

"Original enthusiast-owned car in very rare and sought-after Techno Violet colour with manual transmission. Drives and handles exceptionally well, low mileage for age, and a  great entry into modern classic ownership as a cheaper alternative to the E36 M3."
