Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS
* Supplied with a Federperiti Conformity Guarantee Inspection Report
* Iconic E36 version
* Just 65,000 km
* 6-cylinder engine
* In original “Brilliant Red” paint
* Full leather interior
HISTORY/OVERVIEW
In 1991, the BMW 320i occupied a particularly interesting moment in the history of the 3 Series: it was the year in which the final chapter of the E30 overlapped with the launch of the E36, two different interpretations of the BMW sports saloon.
The example offered here is a 1991 model and stands out for its M-package steering wheel. It also comes with a Federperiti Conformity Guarantee Inspection Report, shows 65,000 km, and has a leather interior and factory-finished Brilliant Red exterior: features that make it especially appealing to anyone looking for a 320i from that year with a sound basis to enjoy and cherish.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork is in its original colour, as stated on the original identification plate, and is solid and well preserved. The exterior paintwork was restored a few years ago, and polishing and detailing have just been completed. It presents well, with the usual signs of age and normal urban use.
The underbody and chassis are generally in good, solid condition, with no signs of accident damage identified.
INTERIOR
The original leather interior has been preserved and never restored, and remains perfectly usable. The dashboard retains its original period instruments, including the beautiful M-series steering wheel. The door panels are also in good preserved condition, as are the carpeting and headliner. The cabin has recently been thoroughly sanitised while preserving the car’s originality as much as possible.
MECHANICAL
Mechanically, the car is fitted with its original 2,000 cc inline 6-cylinder engine and was recently restarted after a long period out of use. The car is running and can be driven on private roads. The gearbox and brakes are working, and the car passed its roadworthiness tests in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2012. The car has not been used recently and, given its limited use in recent years, a general service is recommended before driving it on the road and before its next roadworthiness test.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
