My car is actually a late 95 model of production date 9/95 and was sold in january 1996.
The only thing my car has that is of 1995 design is the M42 engine..All the trimmings and gadgets are of 1996 designs.
And now I've upgraded the interior to leather door panels and seats from a late model 1998 328i....plus the rims from a 2003 Z3 BMW...
So I have the best of all the E36 years in my car....
