Clean Car-fax! Hard to Find Rare! Estoril Blue Over Dove Gray Nappa Leather! Well-Maintained M3! Fluids Regularly Flushed & Replaced! Inspection II Completed. Garage Kept. Non Smoker Owned. Exterior Paint is all original. This is a turn key E36 M3. I have been collecting cars for years and it is tough to find another one as clean and perfect as this one. I have service records, books, brochures, and (3) keys. All VIN tags are in tact on every panel. You will be hard pressed to find another E36 M3 as clean and immaculate as this one. This car looks and drives as good as it did when it rolled off the assembly line, if not better. I would rate the Interior a 9.5/10 the seats are in excellent condition, the bolsters do not have any wear on them, all functions work and operate on the Vader seats as they should. The Front dash is very clean no cracks, the Rear seats have never been sat in, and Rear deck-lid has no sun damage. The Exterior of the car is a solid 9.0/10 the front fascia has minor stone marks from driving, the front lip been replaced and motion motorsports under-panel has been installed to protect the undercarriage. Front bumper has not been drilled for license plate, the wing on the back is all factory and original. The paint is smooth and looks excellent under the sun, always waxed with Zymol. The wheels are curb and rash free, tires & brakes have only 6K miles on them. Under the hood the car features the revolutionary S52 Power Plant (3.2L 240HP). These engines have been noted to be one of the best M engines produced by BMW M GmbH. The E36 M3 in the late 90's was known to be the car out performing every car in its class and is one of the most recognized M cars in the market place today. Whether you are buying this for yourself or your son/daughter, this M3 is a true gem. Tasteful upgrades include Jim Conforti Intake System, combined with the Shark Injector w/ Turner Motorsports Stage 1 Performance Software and UUC Motorsports Exhaust System. To tighten up the suspension full adjustable Coil-over system was added to this car by Ground Control combined with the Koni Adjustable Struts/Shocks. Finally to stiffen up the steering a strut tower brace was added by Rogue Engineering along with the OEM BMW M3 X-Brace Reinforcement, which was only available on the convertibles from the factory by BMW.No expense has been spared to properly store, maintain and address all preventative maintenance on this M3. I do not need to sell this car and would prefer to keep it, but if this M3 goes to the right home I will be happy. This is a true collectable as these cars have now hit the 20 year mark. Age, mileage and condition is the largest contributing factor to this car along with all original keys, books, and records, which are included with this sale.
