The BMW E36 is the third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars produced by the German automaker from 1990 to 2000.  The E36 is well known to BMW enthusiasts, primarily for the M3 which made the Motorsports-infused model a household name in mid-tier performance cars. The E36 chassis was also known for being besieged by low-quality materials and construction, like door panels that would fall right off the door if the wind was just right. The chassis was also celebrated, however, for being very easy to live with from an annual maintenance costs standpoint. Parts remain quite cheap and widely available, and there’s a huge following for these mid-90s 3-Series, from tuner shops to track day junkies. The convertible model does what drop-tops do best: the top stows beneath the color-coded hard plastic tonneau cover and drives just like any other inline-six powered BMW.

The current caretaker purchased their 1996 BMW in 2016.  They have only used the car during the summers during their ownership.  Our impression of the car is that is an affordable ticket to summer fun that is in need of thorough exterior detailing and replacement driver’s side seat upholstery to bring this car back to its former glory.
