Vehicle Detail
1997 BMW E36 ///M3- Cosmos Black/BlackRare Example of a clean low mileage 97' E36 ///M3. Only 75K Original Miles! No Accidents! 2 Owner! BMWCCA Member. Clean Car-fax! Hard to Find Rare! OBD-2! Cosmos Black Over Black Leather! Well-Maintained M3! Fluids Regularly Flushed & Replaced! Inspection II Completed. Garage Kept. Non Smoker Owned. Original BMW Double Spoke-II Wheels. Original BMW Keyless Entry w/ Alarm.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 records, books, brochures, and (2) keys w/ remotes. 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 front seat bolsters are excellent with minimal wear. All functions work and operate on the manual 12-way Vader seats as they should. The carpet is extremely clean covered with a brand new set of OEM Floor mats. The Front dash is very clean no cracks, the Rear seats are excellent, and Rear parcel shelf has no sun damage. The Exterior of the car is a solid 8.5/10. Front bumper has not been drilled for license plate, the car was ordered as spoiler delete from factory. The paint is smooth and recently had a full 3 stage detail performed including clay-buff-wax treatment. Tires are new and only have 100 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. Mechanically this car is excellent and has always been serviced.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, but if this M3 goes to the right home I will be happy. This is a true collectable as this generation M3 has now hit the 20 year mark. Age, mileage and condition is the largest contributing factor to this car. I spend lots of time and money to source the lowest mileage and cleanest example M3's across the country. My process is involved and detailed, once a car comes into my collection I go over the entire car addressing anything that I feel is necessary, before I offer the car for sale. Please understand what I have to offer here is special.Factory Options - Cosmos Black/Black Leather- Vader Manual Seats (12 Way Adjustable)- Heated Front Seats- Driver & Passenger Airbags- On Board Computer (12 Button)- Cruise Control- H/K Sound System- CD Changer- Digital Automatic Climate Control- Split Fold Down Rear Seats- Electric Sunroof- M-Rear Spoiler Delete- ASC Traction Control- 3.23 Limited Slip Differential- Double Spoke-II Wheels w/ NEW Tires Inspection II has been completed- EXTRAS - OEM BMW Keyless Entry & Alarm System- OEM BMW Cup Holders- OEM BMW Short Shifter- OEM BMW Front Lip Spoiler (Color Matched)- New Headliner- New Carpet Floor Mats- Stop Tech Cross Drilled Rotors- Ground Control Coil-Over Suspension Recent Maintenance- New Tires- New Stop Tech Cross Drilled Rotors & Pads- New Thermostat- New H/K Amplifier Terms & Conditions:You are entering a binding contract.

I am a private collector, not a dealer. I am no stranger to buying and selling high-performance cars. You are not buying a brand new car, but a well-loved 19 year-old, pre-owned car from a BMWCCA Member. Minor stone marks on front bumper is expected for a car of this age. There are minor stone chips on the windshield. This is normal for a car of this age. I recently had the entire car clay, buffed, and waxed. I had the entire car go through PDR (Paint less ding removal) my tech works for BMW and removed most of the minor dings. Please keep your expectations in check. This car is being sold AS-IS and there is no expressed or implied warranty or guarantee. All inspections must be completed prior to auction ending, at buyer’s expense. That said, I have sold many cars and have a solid reputation on eBay.FAQ: Q: Does the car have any rust? A: No. This car has no rust on the body anywhere, the car has no signs of rust on the under carriage. It was transported to my private collection in Illinois in an enclosed trailer, and has been stored indoors. Q: What is the market value on this car, and where is it headed? A: Dealers are pricing this car at $25K+. The market on these cars are on the upward trend, as this model year car now hit 20 years old, it will only continue to rise, similar to how we have seen the E30 M3 spike in price over the past few years. This is an excellent buy for anyone looking to daily drive, collect, or invest. Get your money out of the stock market and put it into this car, it's more of a for sure bet!
