E36 328i sport in ireland?

I had a 328 - wasn't a sport, so didn't have the looks, lsd, suspension etc.  I'd say go for the 328 as it is a fantastic engine and after changing it for an M3 Evo, I would go so far as to say the the 328 is a more enjoyable everyday car.

Speed wise, the Evo comes into its own at 100+ and only starts to fly at those speeds which in the real world isn't usable.  The Evo had monumental grip and handling which again could only be put to the limits if you were willing to loose your license. The E36 328 will hang with an E46 330 and match most other high performance cars out there for very little money.

Stop go M50 rush hour traffic - around 30mpg, the only issue is selling them on, everyone would love one but only few are prepared to pay the premiums requied to put one on the road in this country.

323 is a lovely motor but you can't beat torque and the best way to get it is with cc's

Ive seen well specced 323's up for sale for a long time, there are buyers out there but paying a thousand euro tax a year puts a lot of people off.  But its your cash if you cn pay the premium go for it. Whats the vrt on a well specced 328?

i have my eye on a well-specced one in england 99 one with 63k on the clock. Do you think it will sell over here when the time comes???

would i be right in assumibg the 328 wouldnt differ much in fuel from the 323??

Hi Sean,

Haven't seen any here either, but have been keeping and eye
on the magazines as they seem really well speced/priced.
Would be interested to hear how you get on if you go the 328
Sport route as it seems like a logical replacement for my E30
when the time comes.
