1999 BMW 328i Convertible
***NO RESERVE*** Finished in striking Boston Green, over Black
Registration - T986 RPH
Chassis No - WBABK82030ET81955
M.O.T. - July 2024
Odometer - 86,353
The format of a four-seat convertible has much appeal, yet the choice of such cars is surprising narrow, among which the E36 BMW has much to commend itself; especially when powered by the 2.8-litre version of BMW super-smooth straight-six engine. The tidy example on offer is finished in the appealing colour of Bostongrün metallic that’s complemented by black half-leather interior trim. It has had just four keepers from new, who’ve amassed a relatively modest total mileage of 86,397 between them. The most recent custodian has owned the car for the last eight years and currently classes the engine and automatic gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. He is now offering the convertible at No Reserve, and complete with M-Tech side skirts, new battery and alternator, its complete set of tools, book pack including the service record stamped to 86,248 miles (ie just 149 miles ago), plus a current MOT valid to July 20 next year.
The third generation of BMW’s all-conquering 3 Series model (code name E36) was launched to much acclaim in October 1990. It was penned by Pinky Lai and Boyke Boyer who, as its silhouette suggests, were intent on optimising the newcomer’s aerodynamics. The model was ultimately produced in saloon, hatchback, coupe, convertible and estate guises, and with a choice of engines ranging from 1.6 to 3.2 litres. The 2.8-litre option available from 1994 to 1999 was a punchy straight-six unit of 193bhp and 207 lb ft of torque – sufficient output to propel the BMW to 60mph in around seven seconds flat and on a to a top speed just shy of 150mph. The E36 range was supplanted by the E46 in the year 2000
In summary:
- Just four keepers and 86,397 miles from new
- Comes with full service history and current MOT
- Being sold at No Reserve
