Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Going to look at a few E36's tonight and was just wonderng if theres anything I should be looking out for. All are 6 cylinders bar one which is a 318i manual,and are all newer than 1994. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Ashkan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Quite keen on a 318 manual. It doesn't have a FSH but has most of it there including new engine at 90xxx kms. How much JMJ? PM me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But costs much more! VANOS Auto goes alright when foot is floored (like a black man wit two cops on him) in "sports change" mode.
