1996 BMW 3-Series M3 Description

1996 BMW M3 Coupe

Motoexotica Classic Cars is excited to present this bone stock and unmolested 1996 BMW M3 that is finished in extremely desired Cosmos Black exterior and black leather interior. This is a true one owner Texas car that is very well preserved and maintained.

The original owner of this stunning black BMW M3 coupe stated that he bought this BMW M3 when it first came out and kept very good care of it for over 20 years that he owned the car. No modifications, never raced or ever kept outside. He purchased the car new from BMW of Dallas and had the car serviced there routinely for the past two decades and the Carfax backs up that claim.

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW’s in-house motorsport division, BMW M. Upgrades over the “standard” 3 Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive engines, improved handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements, lightweight components, and interior/exterior accents with the tri-colour “M” (Motorsport) emblem.

The first E36 M3 to be imported to the United States was the 1995 model, which used the S50B30US engine with 240 bhp (179 kW; 243 PS) and 305 N·m (225 lb·ft), a different suspension setup and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time in about six seconds. It was available with five-speed manual and automatic transmissions. An M3 Lightweight was produced in limited numbers for the 1995 model year.

The 1996–1999 model years had displacement bumped up to 3.2 litres, still with 240 bhp (179 kW; 243 PS), but torque increases to 320 N·m (240 lb·ft) which is the same S52B32US engine used in the early M Roadster and M Coupe. The manual gearbox remains a 5-speed despite the European versions being upgraded to 6-speed. It was also available as a saloon starting in model year 1997, and as convertible in 1998. Production of the saloon was halted in 1998, while the other models continued until 1999.

Luxury package – wood trim, all in great condition. Black leather interior in excellent shape, normal wear on driver seat, rest of the seats are near perfect. Has original M3 mats. Headliner in perfect condition. Full size spare with new tire.
