For Sale, 1997 BMW M3 e36 ( a modern classic sedan). A daily driver with leather appointments, aggressive styling, german engineering and 240+ Horsepower. The 1997 BMW M3 is a solid, quick, aggressive automobile. She handles amazingly well and is very reliable. The car has been in the family since 2008, she was purchased from the original owner with approx. 70,000 miles. She currently has 93,000 miles on her. She's been regularly maintained, always serviced by a competent BMW mechanic and always with AMS Oil. All current records have been saved and are available to the new owner. The car is Carfax certified and all documentation is included. She will need new front tires soon. I will have the oil changed and a tune up before car is delivered to new owner. The color combination on this automobile was very rare for the model year. A Cosmos Black Metallic Exterior and Magma Nappa Leather Interior was very rare in 97, only about 150 models, in this color combination, were imported to the United States this model year. All electronics work on the inside and outside. The interior does show normal wear as does the exterior paint. The car will be professionally detailed before delivered to the winning bidder. The M3 needs a new home, our family is growing and a minivan or 5 series wagon is in my future. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for viewing and happy bidding.
