About this 1996 BMW 318i

VIN: WBACE31050EU36163

Is it vintage? Yep - though it is hard to believe, 1996 was quite a long time ago.
Is it slow? Undeniably - with the 8-valve M43 maxing out at 115hp, you won't be winning any drag races.
Is it basic? Affirmative - though it was optioned with automatic A/C and an MTech front bumper, you'll be touching plastic when you steer and cranking an arm to roll down the window.

Does any of this matter? Not one iota.

This E36 318i Touring perfectly epitomizes the philosophy of "it is more fun to drive a slow car rapidly than it is to drive a rapid car slowly." Extremely tidy both cosmetically and mechanically, this 318i Touring has a refreshingly large amount of stamps in it's service booklet and a ton of maintenance and repair invoices....and the driving experience reflects the love that has been lavished on it over the years.
