On the Hunt for an E36M3 guys...

ok ok... no I'm not selling my E30-M3, becuase I love it to bits

But I do need a motorway basher and am looking out for a tidy E36 M3. Ideally I want black with black leather and if it's an Evo a warranty.

Would also look at 328i sport cars.... in black

If anyone sees anything think of me...

Well I've bought one.... provided it get's the through inspection on Friday that is. Managed to get hold of tidy early EVO for excellent money but no warranty at this price.



I'm still keeping the white E30 M3... I love that car, and it's so well sorted now, I've never driven a car that is so balanced and settled through the twisties. For now though it's going to have to go into storage whilst I take the insurance off that and put it on the black M3.. then in a couple months I'll have the finances back on an even keel and can sort out a track/limited road policy for the white M3.

But... it looks like I'll be missing Oulton in July, can't really afford to buy a car, insure the white one and do a weekend at Oulton park all at once. And it looks like my carbon airbox for the E30 will be sitting on the floor in Bexleys for another month... now where's my lottery ticket.

Thanks to everyone who emailed me etc for their help over the last few weeks.

Hello Houlbt, looks nice who do you use for inspections.

 

mark.

Using the chassis number I've been tracing/confirming the service history of this car through the previous BMW dealers who have maintained the car.

Fortunately all checks out and it does not seem that any major work not identified in the service histroy has been carried out. The dealers I've called have all been extremely helpful, aside from Holland Park BMW in London.. who originally supplied the car and are technically my local dealer.

Citing the Data Protection Act I was told that they could not tell me anything about the car period unless I owned it. Well I will own it from Friday and i've paid a deposit I said... but to no avail. The current owner can phone and check they told me, but what use is this because then I don't have any kind of independent reference to the car, only the current owners word.... Personally I think it's daft.

Nice!!

Looks like mine!!

Anyway when I searched on my BM's previous history, they said they could tell me everything apart from the owner's payment or other details - which is fair enough, I think Holland Park are being a bit ****y, the information is not on the owner, but the car. My 328 had the nikasil problem and had the work done at Gerrards Cross and they couldn't tell me anything even tho they'd done major warranty work, as they said they don't keep records for over 3 years!!?! All the other dealers it had been to gave me what they could.

Hope to see it back out in it's natural environment soon.

Thanks Kevin... a few weeks/ months tops and she'll be back out no fear.
