Restored E36 M3 Saloon - is this a PHer's car?

I'm sure I've seen it on a forum recently but can't recall where

Not sure if he's on PH, but he posted his journal over at e36coupe:

I love these cars,practical,fast with discreet looks and a 'proper' normally aspirated 3.2L M Power engine,what's not too like? Not keen on the interior on that car but that's just a personal thing.

Hi guys

Yes this car belongs to me, lovely car and I am pretty torn over selling but now I have an E36 Alpina B3 it is just not going to get used.
I get what you are saying about the interior, easily changed and I did think about it a few times but I now think it suits the car well, it is a proper 90's interior, the seats were retro fitted a few months after the car was registered at a BMW dealers.
Some one is going to get a great car.

Hi Mickalp

I must admit I am very taken by it, hence I am asking the forum if anyone knew about the car.

I read your journal on E36coupe with interest and it seems you have done a thorough job.

Thanks Texas John

I did the work with the aim of keeping the car, I spent lots of money on it and deliberately tried to keep the car original with no mods.

I will be sorry to see it go.

Interior is not worth the hassle changing if your selling and like you say easily changed.Had my Evo saloon for 8 years now,I was in the same dilema as you whether or not to sell,decided to keep it and chuck it in dry storage where it's been for the last two years,there a dying breed now,not many good ones left with values creeping up.Keep it if you can!

Yes I have had all of these thoughts but as I would have to find and pay for storage I figured the cost of storage would offset any gains in value so I just decided to let someone else enjoy the car.
But I won't be giving it away.!!!

Absolutely,don't drop the price anymore,the right buyer will come along eventually

Lovely looking car. I think the interior is a perfect match for the exterior colour too. Good luck with the sale, it's a cracker
