2000 BMW 316i SE E36

Highlights

Only 26,000 miles from new
Just two registered keepers
Garaged for most of its life

The Appeal

The much celebrated E36 was BMW's third 3 Series and it would remain in production for ten years. Today, more than three decades on from its release, the E36 is considered a modern classic, so we're pleased to offer this exceptionally low mileage 316i SE from 2000.

It's exceedingly unusual to find one with so few miles of the clock and it's abundantly clear this car has been loved. It looks to be in exceptionally clean order and has reportedly spent most of its life in a garage. The interior presents particularly well reflecting the car's limited use.

With only two registered keepers from new, this 3 Series is a time capsule, transporting us back to a period in BMW's past we dearly miss.
