BaT Auction: 39k-Mile 1999 BMW 323i Convertible at No Reserve

This 1999 BMW 323i convertible was sold new in Florida and had just one registered owner until the selling dealer’s acquisition in December 2020. The car is finished in silver over light gray leather and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated black convertible top, fog lamps, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, automatic climate control, an alarm, and a factory cassette stereo. This E36 convertible shows 39k miles and is offered at no reserve in Texas with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

The car is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic (354/7) and features fog lamps and a power-retractable black soft top that can be seen both raised and lowered. There are scrapes on the front air dam, and detailed photos of the paintwork, trim, and convertible top can be viewed in the gallery below.

Factory 16″ Style 30 wheels are wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires with 2010 date codes. Disc brakes are fitted at all four corners.

The cabin is trimmed in light gray leather with matching door panel inserts and a dark gray center console, dashboard, and carpets. Amenities include electric windows and mirrors, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, an alarm, and a factory cassette stereo. The door speaker surrounds are broken on both doors and the driver’s side rear seat bottom has a stain.

A leather-wrapped Motorsport steering wheel fronts a 155-mph speedometer and a tachometer along with gauges for fuel level, instant economy, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 39k miles.

The 2.5-liter M52 inline-six was factory-rated at 168 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for sale.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels though a five-speed automatic transmission. Additional underside photos can be seen in the gallery.

Manufacturer’s literature is included in the sale along with a new owner’s cassette tape.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists one-owner history in Florida from its first update in October 1999.
