<p dir="auto">That 318is I had was very short lived I know, didn't last very long.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've decided to take a break from projects for a while, so I needed a nice, reliable, no worries daily in a platform I really love. So, I got another E36 sedan.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_2018_11_20181123_142916.jpg.d92db2ca803aac6332962cd3e6fbcc47.jpg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_2018_11_20181123_142916.thumb.jpg.00f676ca9b17b9f8e27741d021884b46.jpg" alt="20181123142916.jpg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="750" /></a><a href="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_2018_11_received_2194848044105801.jpeg.95d1bc8147cb7fcd7c88eed7c88a30c5.jpeg"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/monthly_2018_11_received_2194848044105801.thumb.jpeg.a5287db7dc07c274071e840d247f6295.jpeg" alt="received2194848044105801.jpeg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" width="1000" height="750" /></a></p>
<p dir="auto">And so, here it is. 1996 BMW 328i, auto. 102k miles *on the odometer* (we will get to that in a sec), rust free cali car thats never seen salt. PO acquired it in california a couple months ago. I currently work as a detailer full time so the plan is to keep it clean throughout the winter while its my daily so that it doesn't become a rust bucket haha. Black leather interior with wood trim is a plus. I got it for a good deal and don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.</p>
<p dir="auto">And thus, onto the bad.</p>
<p dir="auto">The odometer says 102k miles, but when I ran the carfax back before I went and got it I noticed that the odometer had been rolled back from 73000 miles to 37000 miles back in 2008. Almost 40k miles of difference, so that's interesting and the $40 I spent on that car fax saved me a couple hundred getting the car. Otherwise, only things I really need to tend to is that it has a slight power steering like, a /horrid/ exhaust leak from somewhere in the midpipe, a burnt out taillight, and new front seats. The current ones are power and the drivers seat does not adjust.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since I am taking a break from cars for a little while, I don't expect much to change in it from now until spring aftermarket wise. Need to get my finances and life in order before I start something else that I can't financially finish.</p>

<p dir="auto">it's nice to see a rust free e36!  Are you sure the odo was rolled back?  Carfax isn't always 100% reliable as far as mileage reporting since they rely on the individual shops to report.  It could have been fat fingered at a shop and reported incorrectly.  Are there any other indications on the report that that's what happened?</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, if you look through the report the car was very well maintained, and the mileage slowly climbs up after it was rolled back. 100% sure</p>
