Feel like I'm selling one of my children. But only put 5000 highway miles on her in 3+ years. She's meant to be driven more - not just on weekends in spring/summer. Driven her round trip from Toronto, Canada to New Jersey several times. Very clean. She pulls strong and hard through the entire rev range. Never tracked or auto-crossed. I've owned 3 BMWs, and babied and maintained them all. Actual total owners is less than report shows. Previous owners transferred title to wives to save insurance. Good: - 100% Bone stock except for a Spectre short ram air intake. Including stock airbox. - Very clean engine. Liqui Moly oil, and oil additive changed recently. - New thermostat (Behr), aluminum thermostat housing, upgraded water pump (metal impellers) - Clutch fan delete. PO had the worn clutch fan take out the radiator which is a common occurrence. Lower temperature auxiliary fan switch to help keep her cool. - New battery. - New Spark plugs. - No Rust - Check the undercarriage pic. Rustproofed recently at Krown, a renowned Canadian company. - New valve cover gasket. - New BMW OEM Oxygen sensors (pre-cat & post-cat). - New Mann Fuel filter. - New OEM Mass Airflow Sensor, Intake boot. - New Continental DWS Tires with less than 5000 miles. - Wheels balanced. - Clutchmaster's lightweight flywheel. Very fast :-) - Glove box door doesn't sag! No cracks in dash. - On board computer LED still working. No dead pixels. - Cross bar suspension fortification. - Alpine alarm/headunit with bluetooth for Iphone/Android integration. - Black kidneys - Smoked corners. - Tinted windows. - HID 6K lights. - Alpine alarm. Imperfections: - Hood has some small rock chips that've been touched up, couple dings here and there (pics 9,10) but still very nice for a 20 year old M3. Original Hellrot red paint still "pops". Must be seen to be appreciated. Washed & detailed every year. Often get compliments. - Airbag light is on (PO had it diagnosed as clock spring. Including an OEM M3 Steering wheel) - Driver's side mirror clear coat is peeling. Some barely visible on trunk spoiler. Includes: - Some service records. Some of the work a friend & I did ourselves. -Original leather case containing owner/service manual. - Books (Bentley Service Manual & Haynes) - 2 sets of Marksman remote key fobs. - Original certified pre-owned window sticker. Fairly rare Hellrot Red with Black leather interior! Of the approximately 22,193 E36 M3’s to come to North America: 1,452 were painted in Hellrot. 757 S50-B30 and 695 S52-B32’s. Of those 1,452, 1,101 had black interiors. Clean NY Title in hand. Spring finally here so miles may go up a bit. Bidders are encouraged to check out the car in person. Thanks for looking.
