Gorgeous, Well Maintained and Cared For E36 M3

1996 BMW M3 6 Speed Description

Beautiful M3, looks, runs, and drives excellent. Loaded with sport package, sunroof, cold weather package, Harman Kardon sound, manual "vader" seats. California car most of its life except for a few years in Oregon, always been garaged. Have a notebook full of receipts. Car has almost 180,000 miles, engine bottom end has about 80k miles, cylinder head has under 5k miles (swapped engine from 1998 M3 and had head professionally fully rebuilt), ARP head studs used, transmission has about 75k miles. I had the 6 speed transmission imported from Europe, it is from an E36 S50B32 car, no compatibility issues, driveshaft length professionally adjusted and rebuilt, balanced. Car is super clean, no leaks.

Things that aren't perfect- windshield has small crack in right lower area. Wheels have few areas of curb rash. Driver seat has some wear. Overall excellent condition, though not perfect as it's 20 years old.
