Does it say Fern Green on the plate in the engine compartment? I have a brochure and I'm sure it shows Fern Green as a lighter green and your shade as Boston Green. I'm surprised there's no dual climate control in there - I thought it was standard on the '97 facelifted E36s. My '99 318is has it and I didn't have to ask for it as an option because it was shown as standard.

Ditto re the AC but I think they included as standard on the very last of the E36's.

Phoned up BMW with the chassis no. when I was interested in the car and they reeled off the spec including Fern Green. Pictures might not do it justice. Yeah I was suprised with the lack of a/c too but the car had such a decent history I couldn't say no. No remote central locking either!

also only got the half leathers,strange for a late one.

Do it. Simply a bargain in terms of Nice Car + Speed / Price.

Plus that engine: I booted it off a toll booth yesterday and it just felt stellar in smoothness and thrust.



Nice car Phug

I will get one when the finances sort themselves out.

As for that engine, I've been a bit spoilt punting vixpy's new 3.8 straight 6 around ().

O/T Neil, some lovely slides by you on the last Vmax vid. Rare to get an opportunity to play like that at Brunters. Top opposite lock action

[John Laverick]

Looks lovely!

I've just bought one also to replace my E34 525i Sport

Artic Silver with Black Leather .... I'll post some pics once I've taken some!

[ironictwist]

Looks an absolute beauty

Cheers folks, poor spec is a bit disappointing but this was BMW in the era were you had to pay extra for a radio/cassette player or you were left with a hole in the dashboard!

1. Good man
2. Bastid
3. Well recovered again more to come at the next VMax - I've just discovered (i.e. had the balls to try) how to Scandinavian Flick

Anybody know if its a true that you had to pay extra for the "none-smoker" pack which essentially involved removing the cigar lighter and replacing the ashtray with a pocket?

[Phugoid]

Funny you should say that, when I got the spec they told me I had a 'non-smokers pack' fitted as an optional extra. This consists of fitting a dummy cigarette lighter and removing all the lids from the wee trays on the centre console. Great, so now all my coins and valuables are exposed to potential theives and I bet BMW charged for this pleasure!

No it was free. I still have the price list and brochure for the E36 coupe from 1999. I ordered mine brand new and opted against the non-smoker pack as realised I might want to sell the car one day and making it smoker-unfriendly would reduce the number of potential buyers. I also prefer to have my car park money covered up.
