You Can Bid On This Crazy BMW E36 Off-Roader Now

BMW 3 Series E36 was available in a variety of body styles. It was first offered as a sedan and a coupe, with a convertible model following a few years later. In 1994, it was available as a five-door Touring wagon and a three-door hatchback known as the 3 Series Compact. Last year, we even discovered an E36 pickup conversion that we felt was fantastic.

We've seen them all. The only thing lacking is a true off-roader, and it's here at Valvato. This modified red 3er, dubbed the "Stamptertje," began life as a 318is coupe.

BMW E36

When it was first introduced, it was driven by BMW's M42 gasoline engine, which produced 138 hp (103 kW) and 129 lb-ft (175 Nm) of torque. For this vehicle, a new clutch and hydraulic handbrake have been installed. For off-road use, this 3er receives a special set of suspensions.

Raising blocks, redesigned wishbones, and E92 steering arms are installed at the front. The BMW X3's rear half receives E46 springs with coilover blocks, camber arms, and shock absorbers. Mud-terrain tires are fitted on all four wheels. Alterations include a bespoke exhaust system and a waterproof snorkel.

Additionally, it includes a custom-made push bar at the front and rear, as well as a roll cage to safeguard passengers. We have to confess this BMW E36 off-roader isn't in the best state, and that's OK. However, if you're curious, the initial offer is 1,300 € ($1,448). You have until February 4th to bid on this vehicle using the source link provided below.
