Quite cheap for the spec and mileage!

Looks a nice car as long as its straight and has history.

Not a fan of the colour but M tech/M3 front and rear bumpers, OEM clear indicators and jobs a good'un.

my thoughts too ive only bought to store away for a couple of months/detail it and then sell when the "nice" weather arrives.have been doing this for a couple of years now and its a good money spinner.helps me out and i enjoy doing it so its sort of a paying hobby.i hope it aint a stinker

I recon (if it has good history and is clean and straight) with the M technic bumpers it could pull up to £4-4500.

Tidy low mileage E36's are getting thin on the ground let alone high spec 328i cabrios.

agree ive been watching the e36 market for a while as good cheap e30's are almost non existent so have switched over to e36's for now.most of them are high mile scrap but you get the occasional low mile minter for next to nothing.i have a few pennies left in the pot so i might get a mtech bumper painted up and put on a sit would finish it off nicely.

Looks sweet enough. Steel blue's not a bad colour and it's got some morsels on it. The wheels look genuine, but I doubt they were fitted from new - I'd get them off and bang a set of standard 15inch Coupe rims or some 16 inch double spokes. It would probably make more as s standard car, and genuine M3 rims have a value.
If it's nice, it was well bought at 2200 notes. Got to be worth £3500 in the summer?

yeah i know what your saying ive got a set of standards lying about so could swap them over and always offer the other wheels as an extra,always a good bargaining tool.it needs a good wash/clay/3 coats of wax 40 odd pics and a good write up

Definately - M3 rims on an otherwise standard looking car just look wrong. A set of 16" Doublespokes will look much more appropriate and won't cost much ( I got a very straight set with excellent tyres for about £70 off Ebay last Year ) and you can sell the M3 rims on for much more than that.

A very good buy I'd say
