Another great compact now stateside! This is one of the latest production date E36’s we’ve seen. It seems like the compact ran the longest. A tried and true combo of the m44 with an automatic, this ones ready for a manual swap or leave it as is. Low mileage, with only 45,900 original miles and no rust or corrosion, its paired with our favorite M Rain sport interior.

Exterior - Cosmos! A great color with loads of character. Its not just “Black”, as it packs a punch with how much flake BMW managed to shove into the paint. Overall condition of the paint is good, there is some patina showing however. The upper brow of the front bumper has some clear coat failure. There is also a handful of very small dots on the hood where the clear has gotten tired, think the size of a thumbtack or smaller. If you’re 5 feet away from the car, you won’t even see them. The rest of the car is very clean though, shining up nicely. This is a factory M Sport car, meaning it has the sought after exterior aero package, wheels, and suspension. All body panels line up nicely, there is one small ding on the passenger side rear trim area. The original glass European headlights do have an aftermarket angel eye setup installed, we actually like the look of them quite a bit.

Interior - Ah, M Rain. It never gets old seeing this interior. The colors, the vibe, its all immaculate. This particular E36’s interior is in amazing shape. Zero rips, tears, sags or issues. Manual seats paired with the lack of a sunroof make this lil ripper a lightweight, capable platform. A factory radio works well, as do the blowers, heat, AC, windows and central locking. Zero lights on, all gauges working perfectly, and a OEM roadside medical kit is still stowed in the back. Overall, not much to comment here as its so tidy.

Mechanical - The M44 is one of our favorite motors, as its a breeze to work on, cheap to maintain, great on gas but has enough power to keep you on your toes in the corners. There is also a massive world of upgrades out there for these that won’t break the bank. As to expect from a stout, from the factory motor, this one is running perfectly. For its mileage, we wouldn’t expect anything less. Zero leaks, issues, concerns or consumptions. We will be performing a fresh oil change on this one before it leaves our hands (and before we put our routine mileage on it). The automatic transmission is tight and shifting as it should, sport mode adds a bit of pep in its step and the manual option does work as well. All in all this one is mechanically very solid. The tires on this were also a conversation point, as they’re momo branded. Kinda wild!

Vehicle is sold with a clean Oregon title in the buyers name.
