- Automatic Air Conditioning

- The car has had a total of 5 owners from new, with the current long-term owner having acquired it over 17 years ago in 2006 with just under 40,000 miles on the clock.

- Since arriving with us in Bicester, the car has benefitted from a 2-stage machine polish to really elevate the Carbon Black Metallic paint, and while there are a fair number of stone chips across the front bumper and bonnet, the car really does present very well.
- The same goes for the interior. The beautiful Modena leather is in remarkably good shape throughout, as are all the controls/buttons and gauges.
- During the current ownership, it was decided to re-trim the driver’s seat bolster in a fresh hide of Modena leather. Due to the hide’s rarity, the owner purchased a full roll of hide during the repair, which is included with the sale of the car (should any future repairs be necessary).
- The black fabric hood is in superb condition and operates faultlessly, and a rear wind deflector is also included to reduce wind noise during open-top driving.
WHAT WE THINK
- This E36 M3 really is quite a fabulous thing. Just consider the ingredients:
- 321 bhp @ 7400rpm
- BMW Straight-6 exhaust note
- 6-Speed Manual Gearbox
- Rear wheel drive with LSD
- Harmon Kardon HiFi (that sounds surprisingly good)
- Wonderful BMW buttons/dials/gauges
- And all this for under £20,000? Whichever way you look at it, that’s a remarkably good buy…
