3 years ago I was buying E36 318is M-Sports for €700/€800..... Triple that now for the same car.
My Silver E36 cost me €400 (Although I'v spent €€€€ on mods, It was a solid original car)
Also bought a few for sub 500. Agreed would not get a sniff of one for that money now.
This is my BMW. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My BMW is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My BMW, without me, is useless. Without my BMW, I am useless. I must drive my BMW true......
