Last year I found an 85.000km e36 323i on mint condition. First owner was an old man who used it ony on the weekend, and second owner had it sleeping in the garage for a whole year. Very lucky find, allthough the speedometer sometimes randomly stops working. Other than that, car's great. Sedan of course

@@seanmccormick4675 3500€. For the prices some e36s are getting at the moment (some bullshit) pretty good imo. He didn't ask for too much money for the little use it had when I bought it, he wanted to sell it asap. By the way if you are looking to buy an e36, if you don't mind the looks, sedans are way cheaper than coupes and perform exactly the same (I even heard sedans' chasis feel more solid)

Most definitely not. There are vast differences between the M50 and M52 engine, and also vast differences in their characters as the M50B25 is quite peeky and the M52B25 is not. With the logic you're using you could just aswell compare the M52 to any other arbitrary engine.

323i is a 325 engine downgraded from 190bhp-170bhp. this is ment for the german market, as they measure roadTAX by horsepower. so you could have the 2,5 straight six, but cheaper to run.
@mohannadosama80418 жыл бұрын
There is quite a misconception between the 323i and the 325i both of them have a complete different engine ! The 325i has a 2.5 liter M50 engine , the 323i has the same 2.5 liter except it's a m52, exactly the same engine found on the 328i :) if I have any mistake feel free to correct me 😄👍

@@bleensteen9331 it's not just a US thing. The glue that holds the door pockets into the door card loses it's adhesion over time. You can use a hot glue gun to glue the door pocket sections back to the door. The grab handle on the door also comes away along with the trim around the handle. The fabric peels away as well, almost without fail. It's all to be expected really, because the constant temperature changes in the interior over 20 years or so will inevitably cause things to fall apart.
