430 332 mile E36

Hi guys....I bought an E36...for a change. But mainly because I thought it needed a good home. Bought by the prevoius owner brand new in 1992 (launch model) and used daily since. Every single service up to 425000 miles was BMW Dealer service. I have three service books with the car and evry service check sheet and corresponding invoice. Engine never opened and still on the original clutch. All documents to prove it also.
It drives well, sure you can feel it has some age to it. I did some paintwork and still have a bit more to do, but oddly enough I was happier to buy this car than a lot of the ultra low mileage ones I've had before. I have since repainted the alloys and replaced the number plates.

Blimey! thats amazing.....and my dad changes his car every 2-3 years because he thinks they are on their last legs at 40,000 miles!
Strangely over here in the states (Texas) most people are very good at changing oil every 3-5000 miles, most mile are motorway (freeway) and so big old V8's rack up 100,000 miles very quickly......but folks are scared to buy higher mileage cars! mad!
