Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 BMW 328i Cabriolet is a two-owner car with very low mileage (18,610 miles). It features a desirable Samoan Blue exterior, dark blue leather interior, and a torquey 2.8-litre straight-six engine. While the car has some minor cosmetic issues and the roof needs attention, it presents a prime opportunity to own a well-preserved E36 convertible.
Condition
