Been searching for 2 weeks now with not a great deal of luck, so thought I'd try the forum. I'm after the following as a minimum;

Manual
Coupe
FSH
willing to pay upto 6k for the right car
Face lift model
upto 100,000 miles

Pleeeeease help by posting links or putting me in touch with someone who maybe interested

thanks in advance

Bugger, just p/x'd mine as I thought it's be a right hassle to sell.

Good luck with the search and remember, new suspension is £1k+ and an e36 will almost certainly need it if still on the original so worth paying good money for one that's had this.

It's been up for nearly two months iirc so he may rip your arm off.
Thanks for the link, I have been talking to Andy about his car looks pretty clean to me.

Good advice, Funnily enough I have 3k ready to upgrade the suspension and Brakes as soon as its bought.

It can take a while mate, I think I was around 3 months looking for one before I finally found one which matched my requirements.

I do intend to sell it soon, but it won't be for a couple of months yet unfortunately.
Still, you might be still be looking then!

(Assuming I get some money I'm expecting in April, I'll be E46 M3 hunting. With similar fussy requirements I had for my E36!)

Here's my journal from another forum:
http://www.bmwowner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&a...

In fact it may be worth asking on that forum if you haven't already. smile

I've got a mint white 3.0 than I'm considering selling.





I bought it to turn into a track car, but it's too nice for that. 79k miles but drives like it's done half that.

PM me if you are interested

Good idea and I've now joined BMOwner and posted. I've just sold my E46 M3 on PH, best of luck with your search. Let me know when you come to sell yours, it looks like a good example.

It could be sooner than I thought, just had it confirmed I'll be getting the money I expected. This Monday.
My search for a new car starts now.

How come you're going from an E46 to an E36? Track car?

Two problems:

1. It's in Scotland, which is quite a drive from Kent.
2. It's a gear short of a full set wink

Hi Paul, OK Contact me if its up for sale, I'm seeing a couple of cars this weekend already so please be quick. I bought another house and needed to raise the deposit so had to sell it frown So now the E36 offers good value and I'll get it ready for the track aswell smile

Solution 1 = SleazyJet
Solution 2 = No solution needed. 5 is just fine, and as an ex-E36 3.0 owner I'd definitely say that the differences between the 3.0 and Evo cars is not the gaping chalk/cheese that you'll read about.

Loving the white too.

Looks like a beauty to me from her condition clap - I haven't been following so don't know the spec (although I did view the pics yes) but she looks straight and with good interior, best of luck mate! you'll love it!hehe Used to have one of these colour in convertible, they really polish nice in that colour, although of course others will prefer different colours getmecoat Is this for the road (not the track I hope!)?
