Vehicle Detail

You are looking at a rare Dakar Yellow 1999 BMW M3 convertible (E36), legendary for their speed, handling, and overall quality. I have driven many car makes but even some of the latest models do not come close to the sheer quality and driving pleasure I have become accustomed to in this BMW M3, even though it is over ten years old now. I LOVE this car! Perfect buy just in time for Spring! Check out all the options, power windows, full BMW Sports Package with 17" BMW spoked wheels, Rollover Protection Package, climate control with dual zoned heat and AC, on-board computer, premium sound system with AM/FM, cassette, 6 CD changer and 10 Harman Kardon speakers. Full size spare, wheel lock. Automatic transmission with Manual Override. Built in phone wiring. Clear title. Always garaged; smoke free; this car has never seen snow or ice. Driven mostly in Florida. Powerful BMW MPowered 3.2 Liter, 6 cylinder, 240hp motor, low-low miles, very fast and a ton of fun. It has immaculate shifting and the handling is incredible. Most convertible models of this year were available only with automatic transmission, but tiptronic shifting modes (economy, sport, and manual) makes this a great car. Jest review some other features: Harman Kardon premium sound with 6 CD changer, works great and is like new. On board computer that gives a wealth of information. 4 caliper anti-lock brake system and aerodynamic design. Driver, passenger, and side air bags A convertible top that works. Heated leather seats. Newer front and rear brakes. Built in flashlight with charger in glove box. Original documentation Brand new battery. The overall highlight is that this is a great car and you have a chance to get it for a great price. The car has been recently serviced and has been inspected by the Palm Beach Braman Motors specialists. Full Disclosure: The car is in a great condition but, as expected, has minor scuffs and wear of paint and minor dents on doors, some scratches on front right of the car. The rear bumpers are fine. I have tried to capture all in the enclosed pictures – please review them carefully since the car is being sold as-is. The original convertible top works and goes up/down, you just need to assist it a little bit i.e. the ties need to be adjusted. The rear window plastic has large perforations so you might want to consider replacing the plastic window or the whole roof. The good news: if the car’s final bid is over $9000 I will include a free replacement non-OEM roof ($450 value) which I have purchased but never had a chance to put on. The car has upgraded head and tail lights. The factory-originals are available for pickup if you want them. The driver seat has a dime size hole on the right side – see photo. Other seats are fine. Tires are nitrogen filled. The car is sold as is. Recent inspection of its 11 year old engine showed the car will need all new belts, oxygen sensor (cause of engine light on console), pipes, intake manifold, and AC tune-up. If you know anything about cars than you know that these are normal things that need to be maintained and repaired on older cars. The clock in the dash needs a new led-bulb. The air-bag light is on due to issue in passenger seat belt buckle. I cannot think of anything else that needs to be mentioned. In short, if you would like the chance to own a European Legend for a fraction of the normal price this is it! I am selling this fine vehicle because I need a family car but I know I will miss it. Please note that this car is also advertized elsewhere so I will entertain offers and reserve the right to end the auction at anytime if the right deal comes along. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding. Have a great day!
