Even though the luxury cars market is growing at a constant pace in China, the E36 BMW 3 Series can't be regarded as a luxury vehicles. Maybe, in its prime, it would've been called a premium car, but not luxurious, like it's bigger brother, the 7 Series.
However, Chinese people always liked BMWs even though the Chinese Government restricted imports of Bimmers or any other luxury car manufacturer's merchandise in the '80s and '90s. That means that if you had a new E36 in the 1990s you were either a government official or you had strong ties with the Chinese Triads.

Today things are different and BMWs are allowed into China, which is becoming the biggest market in the world for luxury and premium vehicles. This red E36 BMW 3 Series could've gotten into the communist country in the 90s or after the turn of the millennium, all we know is that it's kept in very good and sporty shape in Beijing.

This one has a blacked-out front kidney grille, blacked-out headlights and tinted stoplights. Also the body has a complete M-Sport package body kit, a wing on the back and custom alloys.
