I have an existing offer for $7700 so no need to write me an email for anything less. Your bidding on a very clean and well maintained BMW E36 Estoril Blue M3 Coupe. The car has had two owners, but taken care of ONLY by me. This was leased in November, 1996 by my Ex while we were still together. It was a gift for achieving her MBA. Once the lease was up in 2000, I purchased the car in my name. I have the papers to this effect. The car had all if its Type 1 and Type II inspections from 1997 through 2008. Since then, it's just had oil changes every 3000 - 5000 miles. The car has always been garaged since day one! All documentation is included for all services since 2000 (the year the factory warranty expired). The same BMW Service Writer at the dealership handled the car from its first service through its last service. You can obtain all of the service records from BMW as well. I had planned on turning this car into a track car, but I just have no time. I did add a complete coilover kit from Ground Control that cost $1800 in 2010. Everything else is stock. It also includes an extra set of wheels. As you will see from the pictures, I have two M3s (E36 and E46) so I am a very serious BMW owner. This car has NEVER been tracked for racing! Its NEVER been in an accident! And I am a cleaning fanatic when it comes to cars! The car has been garaged since day one! I do not drive this car much because I have my other M3. Here are the things that I know are wrong with it: Volume control on the radio is weakThe digital display on the radio does not work You have to be gentile with the hand brakeThe engine light stays on, but that is because it needs a new catalytic converter. This information can be downloaded from the computer to validate this statement. Every once in a while when I step on the brakes hard (harder than usual that is), the oil light will come on, then it turns off as the car settles from braking. It seems to be a short of some kind because the car always has oil. The driver side A/C vents are just slightly crackedThe windshield wiper sprayer motor needs to be replacedThere is a very tiny crack in the windshield, but has been repaired by Saftelite AutoGlass with a guarantee. About 11 years ago, there was a orange soda spill on the back seat carpet (seen in the pics) I had a mechanic inspect the car on 3/07/12, here are the details. Mounts, suspension, shocks, engine mounts, and cooling system all good!A/C works fine. All of the window and sunroof motors work fine. Head-liner was replaced a few years ago.Cylinder compression: #1: 155 #2: 150 #3: 155 #4: 165 #5: 155 #6: 160Needs replacing: fan clutch, fan shroud, and pan gasket. This is as good as it gets for a 15 year old M3! The car runs and looks great, has been well kept (always garaged), and is actually way more fun to drive than my E46. It includes a spare set of stock wheels, same as on the car now. I have the original documentation that came with the car plus all services starting from 2000.
