Your car looks absolutely stunning in that colour and an extremely tidy example. I'd very much like one like that and still think the E36 coupe looks great. Clean, unmolested examples seem few and far between now.

Beautiful, I love the shape of the E36, something so pleasing about it.

Lovely 28 mate, great colour too. Didn't even know they did it on the E36.

Never seen an E36 in Santorini blue before! You lot might appreciate my South African Landy which shares the colour and the engine from the factory!



Totally standard apart from the wheels which are a similar style but larger as since having it resprayed and restored it's been retired from workhorsing!

Yep, now with M50 manifold, bigger throttle body, de-cat (as I managed to get an emissions exemption for it as it wouldn't pass anyway) and hopefully remap if the ECU is close to the standard BMW item.

It's surprisingly speedy up to about 40, but doesn't take long for the barn door to take over. Main thing is it sounds great when it's doing it!

Incredibly jealous, I saw this for sale shortly after buying my Alpine White one, wish I'd waited as Santorini is my favourite colour of all time on a BMW.

Looks fantastic.

I assume the interior has had a retrim at some point adding the piping?

I owned an E36 (M3) a few years ago and have had a major soft spot for the E36 since. So much in fact that I've contemplated getting another. Easier said than done though as good examples are few and far between.

This is stunning and an absolute keeper by the looks of things - they're becoming very desirable in this sort of spec/condition.

Fantastic.

Absolutely beautiful car! Had E36's before and they are really strong cars, but this has to be one of the nicest I've ever seen. If you ever sell it PM me biggrin

Did the E39 Sport ever come in this colour? I bet it would look fantastic.

Fairly sure it was an Individual colour, even for the E39. Must be very rare though.

I think the piping may have been part of the BMW Individual spec but I may be wrong.

I'm surprised the car is so popular because of the amount of amazing machinery in here! Looks like it won't be hard to sell if the time comes either.
