The E36 was available with a choice of engine sizes but cream of the crop was the 328i, as offered here.
Under the bonnet lurked a silky smooth all-alloy 24-valve 2.8-litre straight-six with a hefty 193bhp on tap. This gave the car sparkling performance, launching it to 60mph in just 6.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 140mph. To help manage all this power, automatic traction and stability control came as standard.
Dating from 1997, this 328i Convertible Automatic has covered only 58,000 miles from new and is finished in striking Metallic Emerald Green with contrasting full grey leather trim. Described as being a “stunning and original example”, it has had just four owners from new, the first being a titled Lady who lived in London. Refinements include central locking, climate control, PAS, ABS, factory fitted alloy wheels, a face-off CD/tuner, driver/passenger air bags, electric windows and door mirrors. The current owner will be sorry to see it go, having used it for a few very comfy long trips, but not being his main car has led him to offer it for sale with us.
The car comes with lots of documentation including MOT history to verify the mileage plus many receipts for routine servicing. Having an MOT until July this year, it also has a rare and desirable factory hardtop, which the vendor hopes will arrive in time for the sale too. All you need now is a sunny day on which to enjoy it…
