I've seen quite a few early e36 325i's for sale on autotrader recently, is this a fair price for these cars or are these ones waiting to go wrong?

I've seen a lot of them with over heating problems in the last couple of weeks :?

A grands a bit high, especialy as a 318 in shit state went for £75 at the auction last night :D

h-j-k reg 4 door e36 2.5 is not very desirable. they are 15 year old cars now, so they will be tired, ive not been to auctions for a long long time, but you will find plenty of early e36"s there.

although if up together, they are nice to drive.

the thing about early interiors is very true. they are shocking.

4 doors e36"s are nasty. coupe only for me.

328i"s are great. im thinking of buying a 328i sport soon as a dayly driver.(although none of the trade people i know have been abill to find one). may have to stretch to full retail.

Not quite on topic....my mates e36 328i is about to get some Nitrous oxide right up it's fat arse!

Cheeky git got a 11lb bottle, 6 jets, bottle heater, lines, solonoids, etc , almost £1200 worth for £300 :eek: 75bhp kit as it is now, more to come. I think my jibes of having a faster car than him really pissed him off! :lol:

It's a nice car to drive, smooth, quick and dropped on 18's his looks pretty good, for the £4400 he paid for it, it's a fkcung steal IMO.

Mark.
