Nothing major that im aware of,I I spoke to a chap from the dealer but it just didn't sound as mint as I would have thought. Steering wheel looks like a non evo, non standard stereo, he said it needed or had paint on the rear spoiler etc.

I think the issue with these cars if if they don't sell you tend to question why they haven't but I don't know any reason why it hasn't.

It's dropped to £12k now, surprised it hasn't been snapped up and re advertised for £18k
I am the new owner of this car. I purchased back on the 7th March 2015. To clear things up the car is an early pre facelift evolution which means it has the standard steering wheel it left the factory with (BMW call it sports leather steering wheel on the equipment list) along with kidney grilles which are rectangle instead of the raised rounded ones on the facelift. Only the face lifts which are built after September 1996 came with the M sport steering wheel with the bigger air bag. This car never had a standard BMW stereo when new, this is because as part of the options list ordered on the car the option radio preperaton was selected which means it came with the cabeling and speakers only, no head unit, rest assured it now has a genuine BMW cd43 sitting in the dash now. Car wasn't as mint has the person at the dealer said it was. It was a London car which lived the first 19 years of its life in central London hence why it has had some paint, it was bound to be knocked about a little. Since my ownership the car has had an extensive amount of work done to it along with a lot of time, effort and money. Including a total strip out of the interior to replace the foam heater box seal which goes on all e36's due to heat from the heater pipes Perishing the seal which lets water in through the scuttle panel. All fixed now. Lots of interior pieces re newed all with genuine BMW parts. New splash guards x4. New parcel shelf/c Piller trims as they was faded, new diff seals, alloy wheel refurb with four new tyres. New genuine shocks with reinforcement plates at the rear. New washer bottle as hoses and washer jets all genuine parts from BMW. I might as well mention every part is brought new from BMW. Fully detailed 2nd stage polish with under body detail (the underside is now yellow again due to being polished) The car now sits at 36 k miles, done a couple of thousand miles in it when I first got it a trip around Europe including 8 laps of the Nurburgring (I wanted to do this before the car would only be used as a weekend/show car) car will now cover around 100-300 miles per year. Booked in for an inpection I next month at BMW to maintain fbmwsh. New boot carpet, new glove box air vents to fix glove box sag. I have spent 1000's lots more done I could mention. It is stored in a heated garage and is only used as a third car on hot summers days. One that I will keep forever. Please view Minutia detailings Instagram page to see photos of extensive detailing on the car. It's not perfect but it drives just as nice as my 2013 e93. Even has original working glove box torch, first aid kit, unused spare wheel with BMW weights, original windscreen with running in instructions on it. Along with the sticker on the speedo indicating what fuel to use. Original dealer window sticker and number plates (BMW Holland Park) Best 12k I've spent. Everything on the car works.
