Nice investment?
They are still there: ordinary BMW 3-series of the E36 generation. Look at this wonderfully typically colored 318i! Perhaps the best part: it is also relatively cheap.
Ah, the BMW 3 Series E36. An icon of the 90s, but nowadays a bit of a rare appearance. In bunches they were filled with M-stuff or aftermarket fine and completely driven, many have also disappeared from the road to continue as a track or drift car. Find another neat and modest example. Well, what about this 1993 318i? So they are still there!
In the photo above we see the possibly main reason why this 3-series was not given the same fate as many of its brothers. It is one with an automatic. As a 318i, the engine was of course not very impressive, but with an automatic transmission it is certainly a bit of an ‘old man’ 3-series. It is a nice modest-looking 3-series, with its subtle wheels, gray bumpers, orange indicators, fabric upholstery. It’s quite ‘early’, besides. He was registered in June 1993.
Even though we are dealing with a car that is over thirty years old; it only has 133,000 km on the odometer. A modest car with a quiet existence, those are sometimes the real gems. He stayed with his first owner from new until 2017. All in all, ingredients for a high asking price, because you won’t find them like that anymore. Yet the price is not too bad, the asking price is €1,749 and that is really on the low side for an E36, even if we take many less fresh examples into account. The E36 seems to be following its predecessor and increasing significantly in value. That is why this can not only be a nice car for an enthusiast, but also one that might earn you some nice money in the long run. Even if it may not be a very desirable version.
