Not only is the 328is a coupe, the best looking of all the E36 body styles, it sports with the best non-M engine the E36 ever came with, the M52 2.8 liter naturally-aspirated inline-six, with 190 hp. Why is E36 so good? A great engine and a solid platform make the E36 arguably one of the most customizable cars in the US.
Low-mileage garage queens regularly bring $20,000, but $13,000 to $17,000 should snag a healthy driver with good cosmetics. When the E36 M3s began to enter the used-car market, manyCertainly good cars in their own right (particularly after a full Dinan3 upgrade for the 335) but still lacking the panache and handling of the E36. The E36 was the car, after all, that was crowned as the "Best Handling car at any price" by Car and Driver magazine in 1997.
Really, the E36 is the perfect enthusiast car. It blends modern technology with old-school analog fun for a perfect combination of fun and convenience. This most certainly accounts for why they have recently begun to climb in value.NplfQ.
