Sorry, but they ARE gutless, poorly equipped, dated looking and horrifically overpriced for what they are. Most of them have black plastic bumpers and black plastic side skirts, horrible black plastic seat backs and a poor level of standard equipment.

If you want a BMW, buy a decent one, 4 cylinder E36's are for wideboys who want to look bling and people who want a posh badge but cannot really afford one.

LA124 thinks they rock but he also thinks his 728 is fast

Im not sure if its an E36 but it doesnt have the black bumper u mensioned.

Heres some Pictures of the one im looking at so u can tell what it is.
Its got a good price tag on it aswell

I like BMWs and i also know they are well built.
I also need a car that is good for long trips and i also want one that is safe so i feel more confident when i drive.
I can get this one for $8,500AUD and have asked if the seller can drop the price a little bit(worth a try

).
Its only done 100k kms
Has anyone else go anything to add about these cars?
Also how old is Fox

They are great cars, you can get faster cars for the money though. My dad has had an E39, E46 and now an E90. Not a single problem with one

I cant get a faster car in Australia for $8000. This is the lowest ive seen one of these cars. All the others are up around $14000. The only way i will get a faster car at the same price would be something like a holden or ford or just something with not as many features in it

And Older ford falcons and Holden Comadors are owned by alo of people that would be considered as chavs if they were in the UK.

Glad to here thatyour dad has one and doesnt have a single problem
