Very sad,
I have been on the lookout for some time now for a clean E36 318is or 328i sport in Coupe guise.. they have vanished

try an E36 search on ebay all you get is.... "Drift"/modified/stanced/Mtech its sad.. but finding a nice E36 has got very hard !

5 years ago there seemed to be plenty of nice examples and plenty of together m3's. Don't know where they have all got to.

Think the e36 has come of age a little, to my eyes they look better than they used to

You have your daily Ross, and the E30 in the garage, why don't you just concentrate on getting that running...? :)

Because 95% of the time I hate the Impreza. At normal speeds on our bumpy roads it's horrible to drive. Rattly, bumpy suspension and no power off boost. For the 5% of the time I can open it up its a hoot but the negatives outweigh the positive.

After something I can smoke about in relative comfort

Went to look at the second one. Little rough around the edges but it was an honest car, honest seller and half the price of the back one. Ton of reciepts and service history, 4 matching good tires etc. The makings of a good car.

Only issue was it had a stupid exhaust and he had paid someone who claimed to be a professional to do an audio install and it was a proper bodge that would need ripping out but he was very honest about it all. Told him I would have a think
