S52-Powered RHD 1996 BMW 328i Touring 6-Speed

This 1996 BMW 328i touring is a right-hand-drive example that was imported from the UK to the US in 2021 and was subsequently modified with a 3.0L S52 inline-six and a six-speed manual transmission along with M3-style lower bodywork, 17″ Style 23 alloy wheels, M3 suspension components, and Vader seats. The car is finished in Arctic Gray Metallic over black leather and gray patterned cloth and is additionally equipped with a sunroof, roof rails, fog lights, four-wheel disc brakes with six-piston front calipers, air conditioning, and a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo.

The car is finished in Arctic Gray Metallic (269) and features a sunroof, roof rails, fog lights with yellow lenses, and painted M3 mirror caps. M3-style bumpers and side skirts were added and repainted to match during the build in 2021. The decklid was refinished and the window seal replaced under current ownership.

The 17″ Style 23 alloy wheels are mounted with Continental Extreme Contact tires showing date codes from 2022 that were installed in 2025. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with six-piston front calipers sourced from a later-model 1 series. The brake fluid was changed in early 2026 and power steering hoses were replaced under current ownership. M3 suspension components have been added.

The cabin features Vader seats that were reupholstered in black leather with patterned gray cloth M logo inserts, and matching upholstery extends to the rear bench and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, and an onboard computer. A Black Forest Industries shifter with a custom boot and Kenwood Bluetooth stereo have been added along with a subwoofer and replacement speakers.

The three-spoke leather-wrapped M3 steering wheel frames a 155-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, instant fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 117k miles, approximately 28k of which were added under current ownership. A mileage inconsistency is listed on the Carfax report.
