After selling the Punto GT about a year and a half ago and having to spend a year driving a 1.6 Vectra, I've just become the proud owner of an E36 BMW 325 SEi. It is the 192bhp, straight 6, 24v engine. Plenty fast and smooooth.
I bought the car about 2 weeks ago after seeing a small ad in the paper. Wasn't even looking specifically for a car but the advert just stood out.
The car itself has had 3 owners but has only done 91k miles. The car has a really interesting history, originally owned by a Colonel who bought it through BMW Tourist & Diplomatic Sales and it was exported to Germany where it lived until it was eventually brought back to the UK. There are piles and piles of receipts (some I can't read due to being in German!) and a full service history. Its a total minter, 3 small surface rust patches and that is it. Booked into bodyshop to get fixed a.s.a.p
Enough chat, here are some pics:-
Original Sticker on back window:-
Original Receipt for car (with a 7% Special Forces Discount)
Thanks from BMW:-
Original Brochures, complete with "x" marks the colour and interior spec:-
Nato Certification anyone?
History Book Stamped Up:-
An example of some German and Italian Receipts:-
German Labels in the engine bay
Thoughts?

Yep, great cruiser. I didn't like the colour either but its grown on me big time. Looks cracking when its clean. If I'd wanted 3dr, I would have got a coupe.

Nice car in its day - the interior looks so dated now.
Plans?

Very clean interior, a little dated, but for that price, excellent  I like it.
