NO RESERVE! UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1998 BMW E36 M3. IT'S PRICED FOR A QUICK SALE! THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN ONE ACCIDENT BUT DOESN'T AFFECT DRIVE-ABILITY OF THE CAR WHATSOEVER! (SEE PICTURES) I HATE TO SELL THIS CAR BUT I HAVE TOO MANY CARS AND I'M WORKING ON A REMODEL OF MY HOUSE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2014 WITH 104'000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL M3'S AND WANTED A COOL DAILY AND THIS ONE CAME UP. IT'S A LOADED BLACK ON BLACK M3 SEDAN (SAME WHEEL BASE AS COUPE) 4DR WITH HEATED LEATHER, PW, PL, PS AND ALL THE GOODIES. AT AROUND 108K THE COOLANT DEGAS BOTTLE BEGAN TO OVER PRESSURIZE AND HAD CRACKED AND LEAKED A SMALL AMOUNT OF COOLANT. I REPLACED THE DEGAS BOTTLE WITH A NEW ONE AND REALIZED THE COOLANT SYSTEM STILL WOULD PRESSURIZE TO AN ABNORMAL LEVEL WHILE COLD RIGHT AFTER STARTUP. I DID A COMP TEST AND A LEAK-DOWN TEST AND REALIZED THE HEAD-GASKET WAS BAD. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO MUELLER MOTOR WERKS IN KOHLER WI, THEY ARE A REPUTABLE BMW SHOP AND THEY DISASSEMBLED THE ENGINE, CHECKED AND REMOVED ALL VALVES, THEN MACHINED THE CYLINDER HEAD, (RECEIPT IN THE PHOTOS ALONG WITH A DISASSEMBLY PIC). FOLLOWING THIS AN OEM HEAD-GASKET WAS USED ALONG WITH ARP HEAD STUDS WHEN RE ASSEMBLED. AT THIS TIME I ALSO HAD A NEW VANOS UNIT PUT IN THE CAR, ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED! NEW RADIATOR, NEW METAL WATER PUMP AND METAL THERMOSTAT HOUSING. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK I DROVE FOR A FEW MORE THOUSAND MILES TO ABOUT 112K WHEN THE CLUTCH BEGAN TO SLIP. AT THIS TIME THE TRANS WAS REMOVED AND A OEM SACHS CLUTCH WAS PUT IN, ALL BEARINGS AND SEALS IN THE TRANS WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR MAIN SEAL. DURING THIS TIME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS APART (WHILE YOUR IN THERE PARTS) MY FRIEND CONVINCED ME TO PUT A NEW STARTER IN BECAUSE THE TRANS WAS OUT ALREADY AS WELL AS TO PUT NEW OXYGEN SENSORS IN THE CAR. THE CAR'S SUNROOF DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE THE PLASTIC GEARS BROKE IN IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FROM THE ACCIDENT, ALONG WITH AN INTERMITTENT ABS LIGHT THAT COMES ON DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS ALSO DISABLED SO THE BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. THE CAR COMES WITH 2 KEYS AND REMOTE FOBS BOTH WORK GREAT. THE CAR HAS AN AFTERMARKET LIGHT BAR ON THE FRONT ALONG WITH HID'S. I ALSO HAVE EXTRA PARTS LIKE OIL FILTERS FLOOR MATS, EXTRA STARTER AND A FEW OTHER MISC THINGS. THIS CAR IS A BLAST TO DRIVE AND PULLS HARD!!! COME TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE! THE PLASTI DIPPED BLACK BMW DS2 WHEELS COME ON THE CAR, I ALSO HAVE AN EXTRA SET OF SNOW TIRES THAT CAN BE PURCHASED WITH THE CAR FOR EXTRA. THIS CAR IS AWESOME BESIDES A MINOR ACCIDENT, AND IS MECHANICALLY BULLETPROOF! PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE CAR, CASH OR CASHIER'S CHECK, I WON'T SHIP UNLESS THE BUYER ARRANGES EVERYTHING, I'LL ROLL IT TO THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THAT'S IT. THE TITLE IS PICTURED AND I JUST CROSSED OUT MY NAME AND ADDRESS. I HAVE THE CAR FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANYTIME! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING ON THIS SWEET CAR AT A CHEAP PRICE THAT WON'T LAST LONG!
