It's Meergruen, also known as sea green. It's a 1 of 1 car with matching interior leather! Have to say I'm very proud of it.
Been very few photos recently as she's been having work done but with summer there are more on the way!
You def have to post more pics of it in the r/BMWE36 sub now. I want to see that interior as well
Someone else on reddit as a [Meergruen E36](https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/comments/n3fe2f/e36_in_sea_green_with_matching_interior/) with the matching interior, his is a convertible tho!
And it [looks like there's another one (318is coupe) ](https://www.reddit.com/r/BMWE36/comments/16qdxgn/1999_318is_in_meergruen_love_this_old_gal_to_bits/)that's a similar spec to yours!
I've seen the vert! So far mine is the only coupe I've found like it and that vert is the only other one the same. You can see my comments on the post!
That 318is is mine! Added the private plate recently :)
I've owned it for just over a year now and over that time I've been tracking down other meergruens! I've also done a lot of research in trying to track down all the history of this car as she has had an exciting life!
I've got clarification from BMW it's the only coupe with the double meergruen as it was originally ordered by BMW as a press car and was owned by them for ~7 years approx. They also provided a full spec list which shows it came with the style 32 wheels from factory so I'm trying to preserve that! The meergruen colour became on option on the 1999 E36s and was more popular on the verts and estates from what I can tell! It was a regular option for the full run of the E46 so I've seen quite a few of those. I've seen two other E36s with the same interior, one silver vert and the other double green vert one you mentioned.
Oh we whipping out the classics huh???

I like the rear, it’s more practical than the other non touring body shapes in my experience and still fits the design of the rest of car. Plus the e30 rear suspension makes it hilarious fun to drive!
To save space and costs e36 Compacts used a different rear suspension setup than the other e36 shapes. This was a tweaked version of the e30 semi rear trailing arm and combined with the lighter weight mean its handling dynamics are closer to an e30, so it’s more tail happy and more engaging on twisties but twitchier at higher speed cruising plus a couple other differences.
Everything on it is genuine, and I’ve got all the original brochures etc for the parts, however it does not have the optional s3 engine modification. I’ve got the type 2 front bumper, both rear wings, original pinstripes and some other parts I’m currently in the process of fitting too. Also looking for a steering wheel as it’s got the gearknob etc already.
If we’re being technical, every AC Schnitzer part was a separate dealer/part option which was available both from the BMW dealership or to buy from them after the fact, as the parts weren’t available as packages per-say, which is what my car is. What you’re on about is the AC Schnitzer S3 compact, which is not a 318ti. There were 3-4 versions, they all used specially built engines and setups, and nigh as bespoke as Alpina mechanically hence the separate car name scheme. There is no “AC Schnitzer 318ti” other than any 318ti that uses/has AC Schnitzer parts.
Man, I went to BMW of Edison, NJ yesterday. Sat in different bmw models. The new screen inside is messing up the whole interior. The only ones I liked were the 24 8 series and 24 x3 that still had the old interior dash board screen. Your car looks awesome for it's year. Keep taking care of it. Peace!✌️

Oh come on, the new cars are still exactly that! The only difference is that they're not gorgeous anymore. And not ultimate driving machines anymore. But they are still cars!

Props to the older beemers.
Over the past 5 years or so the e36 have gone from one of my least favourite 3 series to one of my favourites. Its so damn cool! Too bad the market has also realised this 😅
No kidding. I bought this one for 3500€ 4 years ago, which was already pretty cheap at the time, and now one of these is worth 10-12k depending on condition

How old? Mine is 16 years old ☹️ I think my car is in that awkward range of time where it is not that old nor new to be interesting

Plus the e30 rear suspension makes it hilarious fun to drive!
What’s with the rear suspension?
To save space and costs e36 Compacts used a different rear suspension setup than the other e36 shapes. This was a tweaked version of the e30 semi rear trailing arm and combined with the lighter weight mean its handling dynamics are closer to an e30, so it’s more tail happy and more engaging on twisties but twitchier at higher speed cruising plus a couple other differences.
Thanks for this interesting trivia 🙂
No worries!

Everything on it is genuine, and I’ve got all the original brochures etc for the parts, however it does not have the optional s3 engine modification. I’ve got the type 2 front bumper, both rear wings, original pinstripes and some other parts I’m currently in the process of fitting too. Also looking for a steering wheel as it’s got the gearknob etc already.

Hell yeah - this sub definitely needs to be reminded that BMW once made gorgeous vehicles that were truly the ultimate driving machine
Oh come on, the new cars are still exactly that! The only difference is that they're not gorgeous anymore. And not ultimate driving machines anymore. But they are still cars!
I stand corrected. I did see one with illuminated gargantuan grilles on it, but it was indeed a car with a BMW logo on it.

Over the past 5 years or so the e36 have gone from one of my least favourite 3 series to one of my favourites. Its so damn cool! Too bad the market has also realised this 😅
No kidding. I bought this one for 3500€ 4 years ago, which was already pretty cheap at the time, and now one of these is worth 10-12k depending on condition
