FS: '96 BMW 328is

Matthew C Smith · #1 (**permalink**) 09-17-2008, 06:59 PM

I'm putting my long owned 1996 BMW 328is up for sale.

The car is hellrot red with tan leather interior and a 5 speed manual transmission. The car has a sunroof, wood interior accents, premium Harmon Kardon sound, full On Board Computer, and 6 disc CD changer.

I've owned it since ~60,000 miles. I have full service records from the previous owner and full and very extensive records from when I owned the car. It's been maintained very well over its life with me.

Full maintenance history available below
MCS - Recent Projects & Info: BMW 328is History

Current Modifications:

UUC Stage II LTW Flywheel with E34 M5 Spring Hub Clutch
LED Interior Mood Lighting
M Side Moldings
E46 M3 RSMs with Z3 Reinforcement Plates
Chrome Exhaust Tips
JT Designs Underpanel
Fan Delete (great for fuel economy!)
Front License Plate Delete

Current mileage 179,000

The car is in excellent mechanical condition with no known problem areas. It just passed emissions testing here in NW Indiana. I have had NO mechanical problems whatsoever with the car. I have had no hesitations with driving the car long distances on trips etc. I have averaged around 26 mpg combined city/highway. On all highway, I have averaged about 31/32 mpg.

It has a few small places where the paint is bubbling from rust underneath, but in my opinion is in good shape for its age and mileage.

The rear subframe and attachment points have been reinforced. So, no concerns over rear subframe tearout!

Asking $4,600 or best offer

Any questions etc. please let me know.

How did you upgrade to LED mood lighting? I am trying to upgrade my 328is. You have a nice car by the way, good shape.

Sure did. I was one of the first to do so. I wrote the original information on how to do it!

Must have been tough to sell that bad boy Matthew, I know you had that car for a long time and always took great care of it. Hopefully you are on to bigger and better.

Hey Colin,

Yeah it wasn't easy! I've since purchased an '03 M3 in carbon black.

Do you still have your black e36?
