Evaluation: From The Bavarian Legends Collection. Delivered new to Japan. With unmarked paint and only one minor abrasion on a wheel rim, the exterior is perfect. The seat leather is superb with only minor creasing on the driver’s side. A great clean car in a rare color and condition matching its 2752 km (1710 miles), but it has been on static museum display long term and would need attention before driving.
Bottom Line: An improved “Evolution” E36 debuted in 1995, with the engine enlarged from 3 to 3.2 liters and a Getrag 6-speed replacing the old ZF 5-speed. Otherwise, not much changed. It’s not an especially rare car but two people apparently just had to have this low-mile example. At more than seven times its presale high estimate, this result defies logic and can only be explained by emotion.
