Looking to buy a manual E36 preferably 325i or 328i

[tman17 0]

As the title says looking to buy a manual E36. Pretty new to the car scene only really got into cars a couple years ago. This being my first post not really sure if there's any particular way I'm meant to do things cause I only started looking into forums a few days ago. But yeah I like the E36 a lot cause my grandparents used to have one when I was young and decided I want one for myself. I've been looking around online for a couple weeks now with no luck, so figured I'd try this out. I don't have a very big budget but I managed to scrape together $9,000 but could push it a bit closer to $10,000 (will slowly increase overtime). So I guess let me know if you have something I might be interested in or if you think I'm dreaming if I think I'm going to find something that I want with that budget or if you have some handy advice. Cheers.

Nah you don’t, it’s just a screening to filter auto bot spammers

This looks great IMO - not too ragged out and ruined like most E36's.

Great colour combo, even if the seats are tatty - I would not expect it to hang around long.

Now THAT is a survivor! Really cool to see this car still around - that's a Pfeba "Aero" kit, was an aftermarket accessory available from the BMW dealer parts department back in the day, pre m-technic E36 bumpers.

Jeez - is it as tidy on the outside as it looks?

I wouldn't rate it a 10k car. Be interesting to see what the reserve is

Thanks for the link, I reckon it looks great hopefully the reserve isn't to high

I'm trying to figure out what caused Wolverine to have an epileptic fit on the drivers seat
