Just bought an E36 Compact

[MurphyE30]

Recently I bought an E36 Compact for my mum to use as a run around.

Its the 1.9, Has full service history, 90k on the clock, reverse park sensors, rear pop outs ect... steering wheel and gear knob are M items. did these compacts come in Sport models?

Previous owner has had the rear windows tinted (Ghetto spec tints) which will have to be changed for standard glass.

The wheels are AC Shnitser 18" which the previous owner has sadly sprayed black

Been asked to source a set of standard alloys to replace them, anyone in the know of what I could advertise these for?

Any general info on these Compacts would be apreciated

Compacts did come in sport flavours but yours doesnt have the M tech side mouldings/bumpers which were standard I believe

Stick the wheels on Ebay and buy my Hartges


I like those little compacts.

Sports had M tech bumpers, skirts, steering wheel, g knob and black head lining. not sure if the seats are the same as ti's.

Nice car, shame about the rimzzzz..

Those wheels are worth about £300 origional condition, not a "Wanted" wheel

I know there's e36coupe but is there a forum for just compacts?

Yes they did mate

Mine is the 318Ti sport edition and all you see is standard.
Have a look on "Parkers Guide" to see what spec is what.
I have the M44 1.9 in mine and with 160000 on the clock still returns @35 around town and @ 45 on a run and with this engine and suspension and brakes etc, its a nice lively drive.

There is a forum for the e36 Ti but it is based in our later colony.
America that is.
