A pleasant BMW E36 Cabriolet well-maintained over the years by its sole owner, with nice specifications and a well-preserved interior
THE APPEAL
The third generation BMW 3 Series, the 1990 E36, was immediately well received.
With a completely new, elegant and pleasant design, it managed to combine aerodynamic and modern shapes with the classic stylistic features of the Munich brand, such as the peculiar circular headlights, introduced with the 1968 BMW 2002, now protected by a clear cover, the wedge profile with the classic Hofmeister slant of the back windows and a compact but svelte bodywork, with a longer wheelbase than the previous model.
The mechanics were advanced too, with the new, powerful and flexible M50 twin-cam six-cylinder engines, sophisticated Z-Link suspension and ABS.
The coupé version was launched in 1992, followed in 1993 by the cabriolet, one of the most fashionable cars of the 90s, with an electrically operated fabric hood, a reinforced windshield frame in lieu of a roll-bar and rear headrests that extend automatically in the event of a rollover.
This beautiful 1994 BMW 320i convertible is a well-preserved example of this desirable and exclusive sports car, equipped with the pleasant and lively 150 hp two-liter six-cylinder engine.
The seller informs us that this refined convertible only had one previous owner, who maintained it with the utmost care and always garage kept it.
It displays a bodywork in good condition with some slight flaws compatible with age, painted in a pleasant and rare bright Calypso Red colour and enriched by the electrically operated soft top in very good condition, original alloy wheels, fog lights and well-preserved plastics, badges and lettering.
Inside, the attractive electrically adjustable seats and side panels are well-preserved and upholstered in exquisite dark red Montana leather. The wooden finishes are in fair shape, the dashboard is healthy and free from sun exposure damage and the instrument cluster is complete and efficient.
Richly equipped with automatic climate control and a sophisticated stereo system with remote control, this BMW comes with new tyres and has recently been serviced and MOTd.
Increasingly rare and evocative of a particularly exciting and fascinating era in automotive history rich in technical and stylistic innovations and generally considered one of the best BMWs ever, this beautiful, well-equipped and well-maintained 320i Cabriolet, with an attractive bodywork and a striking interior, will not fail to attract the attention of enthusiasts and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a pleasant, comfortable and rewarding driver's car bound to become a coveted future classic.
