BMW E36 M328iS Individual Convertible - One of the last, low mileage, super condition and unique colour with "Individual" paint and interior, BMW run-out edition - stunning! This is a unique opportunity to invest in one of the last BMW special limited edition E36 Convertibles, rarely available with this mileage and an appreciating asset. This low mileage vehicle is in super condition and was a special order from BMW being an M328iS complete with factory-fitted full "M Sport Aerodynamic Body-styling" (body kit), M Sport steering wheel, M Sport interior mats, M3 side strips, M3 double-spoke wheels etc. in addition to its unique provenance of it being an "Individual" model with the colour combination of "Romantic Red Metallic" exterior with heated "Champagne" leather Interior. The car is in superb condition for her age with no rust on any of the key E36 areas (the rear arches, under bonnet and factory jacking points etc.) as well as original exterior paint work and interior leather. This is a very late vehicle being registered in September 1999 hence being issued a rare 'V' registration. As you can imagine, the car is mechanically superb and drives an absolute treat - it is very taught and controlled; everything feels fantastic from the brakes up to the engine. This car has been cherished and maintained regardless of cost. It has been serviced by the same BMW-specialist Master Mechanic for the duration of my ownership who has completed all remedial work and servicing. The vehicle comes with a full, comprehensive service and remedial history, much of which has been preventative rather than corrective! The condition has been commented on by many people - you will notice the amazing all-over deep shine in the photographs - its beauty and appearance really does belie its age! It is further enhanced by the subtle upgrades detailed below. Please note the car was declared SORN from 1 February 2016 since which the car's interior has been steam-cleaned and all leather has been treated and nourished. The exterior has also been completely detailed with the roof lubricated, treated, protected and re-sealed ready for the next owner. Details of this beautiful E36 convertible include: 1999 "V" plate - run-out "Sport" model (2.8 litre M52 engine) "Individual" Romantic Red Metallic" (original paintwork) and original matching electric hood - only a handful were made in Romantic Red Metallic (a beautiful burgundy/deep red wine shade). "Individual" Champagne HEATED Nappa leather seats Very low mileage of 83,000 genuine miles Fully electric convertible hood with crystal clear rear window (original) and additional "roll over protection" - the roof has just been treated and protected and the vehicle has been fully "prepared" by BMW for a hard top, if desired, too. Automatic gearbox with sport mode Genuine M3 staggered wheels (with new tyres fitted 5000 miles ago) Factory fitted full "M Sport Aerodynamic Body-styling" (body kit) and suspension with the addition of D2 fully height and dampening adjustable coil-overs - these give a comfy ride and great handling due to the adjustable dampers etc. The ride is sublime. Smoked lenses all round, stubby aerial, black BMW badges, smoked plates etc. 6000k HID Xenon headlights with uprated sidelights, number plate lights etc. "Crystal clear" fog lights Supersprint twin 76mm stainless steel exhaust, awesome sound and quality but quiet too when cruising. K&N air filter M-tec cross-drilled brake discs Powerflex bushes Comprehensive service history (the most recent service was an Inspection II 5000 miles ago although the car has been checked over several times since!). Many new parts and items attended to since last Inspection II service including: new tyres, new fog lights, new wiper blades, new rear rubber shims, new "horseshoe" tonneau seal, etc. Power steering Electric windows Heated Seats Automatic dual zone climate control (all works as it should with the air conditioning ice cold) 18 button on-board computer Upgraded Harmon Kardon CD/Radio sound system (with Sony face-off) with optional MP3/Multi CD disc connections/preparations and BMW business RDS First aid kit still plastic-wrapped! All folders/manuals, receipts, full set of keys as well as printout of original purchase order! Current MOT runs out mid-April 2016 Lots of extra parts are included with this sale, including: new spare fog light brackets, new fuel filter, new spare front caliper seal kit, three aerials, spare fuel cap, new spare radiator hose, spare wiper motor, spare window motor, Renovo roof kit, various polishes, spare bulbs and clips etc. as well as a new car cover. All in all this is a very compelling car and a fantastic example of what is now a very rare and desirable vehicle. With prices rising all the time, this vehicle remains excellent value for money and is sure to rise in value, particularly with the combination of the M52 engine and the convertible body shell. This pampered car should give many more years of highly enjoyable motoring for the next keeper - particularly if she continues to be maintained at the current standard. Grab a future classic and enjoy the last of the "proper" BMWs. Reason for sale: my family circumstances have changed leading to the need for a four-door SUV so I am keen for her to go to the right new keeper to ensure she lasts another 18 years just as well. Please contact me at [email protected] or 01273 805492 if you have any questions or would like to view the car - if you reach my voicemail please leave your name and phone number and I will happily call you back! If you think the pricing is beyond that which you consider an E36 of this vintage and provenance to be worth, no problem: but please don't bother me with ridiculous offers. The car is located in Hove, Sussex. Cash/bank transfer only on collection.
