mark247 39 Report post Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) SOLD Hi all. I'm selling my very original e36. It has around 127,000km on the clock. Auto trans. I am the third owner and have only owned it for 5ish months and done about 9000km in it, mostly between Wellington and Napier. The owner I purchased it from had owned it since near new. I bought it to quickly replace my previous vehicle which was written off but now it is surplus to requirements. The previous owner had owned it for over 15 years and said the vehicle had recently had the waterpump etc done. I have no proof of this (his son is a mechanic and did it for him) but the car gets to temperature and stays there perfectly so I have no reason to not believe him. He seemed very genuine. From the factory it came with: - M Sports suspension (handles amazing)- Sports seats - M Sports package (the bodykit etc) - For the entire list type in ET20658 into www.bmwvin.com Since I have owned it I have put 4 new tyres on it and replaced the brake light switch. I have had the bonnet/guards panel/painted through insurance due to a decent stone chip. This car has a few minor blemishes (see photos) which pretty much all 3 series of this age have including: - saggy glove box, still works fine - door cards, as per photo, they are pretty good compared to most. - Paint peeling on spoiler - The roof could do with a decent polish, as it is fading a bit although I'd say its recoverable. - one minor supermarket scrape on the back left corner, and another one the bottom left of the front guard. Both are purely superficial. I have done 9000km in the last 6 months and it has run great. I cant fault the engine/transmission. $3800ono 0272336690 Car is now on trademe https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1430576877 Edited October 10, 2017 by mark247 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For its age I think it's pretty damn tidy, I wouldn't say mint but it's all there and hasn't be modified at all. It's a good reliable car also. I plan to take some photos this weekend when the sun is out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 2, 2017 I watched a video recently where a guy used red/maroon aerosol and thinners to restore faded/cracked seats very similar to yours. May be worth tidying up the front seats for not a lot of $ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E36_Turbo 84 Report post Posted October 3, 2017 Ooh i really like Calypso Red E36's. Just lovely to stare at haha, and not very common. Maybe i should sell my current daily and go back to E36 land? ??. Very tempting haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
