Comments from the seller
This e36 318is coupe is relatively low mileage and has benefited from 3 long term owners after its initial life as a Brisbane BMW demo vehicle. Prior to me it was owned by two people who flew interstate and overseas a lot, which kept its miles low. I have had this lovely car since 2017 and have put about 50,000km on in that time. When I bought it, I was looking for the best one around at that time, and the car has been 100% reliable.
This is a manual vehicle with sunroof and is unmodified. Recent work includes 4 new Bilstein shocks to complement the m-sport suspension, as well as a new windscreen.
This is a well preserved and maintained vehicle and everything works well. The car is complete including tools and books.
