Buying a BMW 316i Compact
The E36 was built between 1990 and 2000, which is why it belongs here: 80s90s.Club lists a car when its generation was in production at any point between 1980 and 1999. A 1990 car and a 2000 car are both welcome; what decides is the generation, never the year on its own.
Every E36 listed here carries the same checklist, answered by the seller line by line, and a Logbook tied to the car's chassis number rather than to whoever happens to own it. Contact the seller directly — we never hold your money and never take a cut.
