Description
I have sadly decided to let go my BMW 328i e36.
I bought this as a restoration project, and so it has been well looked after and maintained over the course of my ownership. It does still need some time put into it which I unfortunately can't do anymore. This is a perfect car if looking for a project or even just a classic daily driver and don't mind putting in some time into the maintenance.
The car itself runs perfectly, engine has no ticking or odd noises.
Replaced the cooling system with a Mishimoto radiator, with an electric fan - this does run from a switch inside the car, and needs to be turned on when you start the car. I never got round to re-routing the switch myself but wouldn't be a hard job.
Electric windows and sunroof all work and have had no issues.
Heated front seats work.
Air con works but can be intermittent.
Suspension has been fully re-built, new control arms, tie rods, coilovers. Meaning the car handles perfectly and feels fully planted. Really smooth over bumps and has been set to the factory M Sport height.
Car is the M sport version, so it has the M sport bodykit, with the side skirts, and M sport steering wheel.
Obviously body has a couple of defects being it's a 30 year old car - all as photographed. Slight scratch on front bumper from before I bought it, with a few minor paint chips, wing mirror plastic has worn away over time. No dents as far as I am aware.
Again - being that it's 30 years old, slight rust on wheel arches and on the jacking points underneath, but have not caused any issues.
Slight squeal from steering wheel.
Replaced original tape stereo with a Blaupunkt Bluetooth stereo system, which looks as if it's part of the original car, as well as upgrading all of the speakers through the car. Will include an amplifier that I never got round to fitting.
Oil changes have been done regularly, brakes work great and haven't done many miles since changing.
Overall has been my favourite project over the years and would have liked to keep it personally. Priced accordingly given that there are a few defects, however it drives perfectly, and has been the most reliable car I've owned. No leaks and has never failed to start.
