Well it had to happen ,sold my 740i and was pleased as it bought my car count down to 17 and wanted to get one of my e36 ready but then i found this touring and as i only know of 1 current one on the forums i had to have it :lol: and also got another individual touring as well a week after but that is another story




its pretty clean for what it is few dents and a bit of the normal rust areas but that will all get sorted

e36 323i manual touring basic spec for now :)


when it was picked up

Ooooh I do love RH toplines!

Looks great. Not uber low but still meaningful. And lots of nice little details.

The interior looks especially nice, and I dislike E36 interiors normally.

Atlantis blue with champagne is a great combo. Foook the nasty bruvlines, What it needs is a set of nice diamond cut type 5s to really set it off...................

Really, surprising how different they look simply satin backed... Just looked like the grilles between the kidneys stuck out more with the satin black. :)
