Yuen 16 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Nice car Nick, rare colour on the E36 and manual 323s aren't common either. Is it a UK import? Odd to see a 99 without the passenger and side airbags. Just so many variations depending on market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Cheers Grant. Yuen it is a UK import, was surprised that it didn't have the passenger or side airbags. I read that they came standard, but probably only to a few markets. Not worried that it doesn't have them, have first hand experience of the safety of the E36 and I can tell you theres no car I feel safer in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Thanks Em. Yea, want to keep it pretty stock. There are just a few minor things to fix and then she'll be mint. Forgot to add Bimmersport sticker to the list! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 I agree Nick. The E36 feels pretty safe - solid enough. Btw, if you want a Bimmersport sticker I have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjs 64 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Does yours have A/C? I looked at a UK import 323i coupe too (but a 96), great car at a great price... but no A/C. There seems to be huge variation of spec in different markets. Looks like a nice car, well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmw325i 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 that sounds like a good buy mate, i actually looked at buying that car around nov last year when i brought my gunmetal e36 coupe, it was a toss-up between that one, the gun metal one and the black 007bmw e36 which is now F4LLEN. He was asking a bit more at that time however so i decided against it. very tidy car however so hope you enjoy it! very nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although your gunmetal 325 was the nicest e36 I know of. A shame the new owner doesn't post on bimmersport.Cheers Cain.
