MOT – 29/ 09/ 2016 – 71956 MILES

AS YOU CAN SEE THE VEHICLE HAS DONE VERY LITTLE MILEAGE OVERALL AND EVEN LESS IN RECENT YEARS AS THE GENTLEMAN GREW OLDER.

MECHANICAL CONDITION/ TEST DRIVE:

THIS M44 ENGINED E36 GENUINELY DRIVES WITHOUT FAULT. UPON COLLECTION WE SET ABOUT A 150 MILE ROUND TRIP IN THE CAR TO GO AND VIEW SOME OF OUR OTHER “WORK IN PROGRESS” CLASSICS. THE CAR DROVE AND HANDLED BEAUTIFULLY OVER SOME OF NORTH YORKSHIRES FINEST DRIVING ROADS (AND ALL THIS IN THE DRIVING RAIN THAT WE HAVE HAD NON STOP ALL WEEK) THERE WAS NOT ONE KNOCK, RATTLE, CREAK OR GROAN FROM ANY PART OF THE CAR – SUCH A SHAME THIS CAN NOT BE SAID OF THE MOST MODERN VARIANTS. THIS REALLY IS A PROPER DRIVERS CAR, PERFECTLY BALANCED BRAKES, LOVELY WEIGHTED STEERING AND A VERY PRECISE GEARCHANGE. ANY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!


BODYWORK:

AN EXTREMELY GENUINE CAR BOTH INSIDE AND OUT THE BODY IS NOT COMPLETELY FREE FROM BLEMISHES – IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL BUMPER MARKS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY TOUCHED IN ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THE CAR. IT HAS NOT SUFFERED FROM RUST ISSUES TO THE WINGS AND SILLS AS QUITE OFTEN BEMOANS EVEN THE BEST LOOKED AFTER E36'S. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION I WOULD SAY THE PAINTWORK IS LARGELY ORIGINAL THROUGHOUT AND IF IT HAS HAD ANY PANELS PAINTED THEN THEY HAVE CERTAINLY FOOLED ME AS THE COLOUR IS PERFECT ALONG BOTH FLANKS. THE BONNET AND FRONT GRILLE HAVE THE ODD VERY MINOR STONECHIP AND THAT IT IT! WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO SEND A FULL VIDEO WE HAVE COMPILED OF THE CAR TO DEMONSTRATE THE SUPERB OVERALL CONDITION.

INTERIOR:

AS YOU WILL NO DOUBT SEE FROM THE PICTURES THE INTERIOR IS IN ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL ORDER. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY STANDARD AND EVERYTHING WORKS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD. A TESTAMENT TO GERMAN ENGINEERING SOME 19 YEARS AFTER MANUFATURE. THERE IS NOT ONE RIP, SCUFF, TEAR OR MARK ANYWHERE INSIDE. THIS IS A VERY WELL LOOKED AFTER CAR!

WHEELS/ TYRES:

STANDARD ISSUE 17” LIGHT ALLOY WHEELS ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO CORROSION AND EXCELLENT TREAD ON ALL 4 TYRES. CAR DRIVES VERY STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH NO WOBBLE WHATSOEVER FROM THE WHEELS.

MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING.

I HOPE OUR DESCRIPTION GIVES YOU A GOOD INSIGHT INTO THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLES THAT WE ARE SELLING.

IT IS OF COURSE FULLY HPI CLEAR.

DELIVERY CAN BE ARRANGED AT BUYERS COST

Enthusiasts will debate for decades to come which M3 was the best. Any of you that know me will be aware that my roots date back to the revered E30 M3. I grew up with them and love homologation specials with competition pedigree. That said, one would argue that the E46 M3 will go down in the history books as the most all ...
