About a 97/98 depending on spec with a moderate mileage

I have had a look arond,the 97 R are going for 9k mostly,did they make any later than that in this shape.

E36 convertibles went all the way upto V reg. Should be some somewhere out there.

Thats a cheap 330! Shouldnt be on a v though they started on a W. Could be an import. Cheap car though must have galactic mileage.

530 prices are allover the shop but usually down to spec. when you are ready to buy let me know any BMW's you see and ill check them out or you.

I had an e36 convertable 328i on 00/W, so I guess there were a limited number registered??

just the last few stragglers that got registered after March 2000 thats all. Obviousley dealers have stock of cars and hang on to them until they sell or they register them for their own use. SO even after production ceases cars stick around for a while.
