1997 BMW M3 Sedan Alpine White
1997 BMW M3 Description
Up for sale is a 1997 BMW M3 with just over 120,000 miles. Unlike most E36 M3's on the market, this one has a clean bill mechanically, and cosmetically, still having its original paint, and matching VIN body panels. With only light signs of being a 19yr car, the paint as shown, still shines vividly. The Napa Black leather is still in great shape, with only the typical drivers seat/side lower bolster showing a small wear cut, which a spare patch of Genuine BMW Leather is included for a professional patch. Cleaned and conditioned using Gliptone leather care products, the leather was a soft feel and a semi gloss shine. All seat motors/window motors are in working condition, and the 18 button OBC fully functions with no dead pixels. The car has been upgraded with a top shelf ///Alpine sound system, featuring smart phone USB connections on the face of the head unit, as well as a hard wire in the glove box for dual connection charging. The HK speakers have been replaced with BSW's stage 1 set, giving the sound quality an upgrade to match the ///Alpine head unit. To bring the interior to modern tech level's, its been professionally fitted with a Blu tooth external mic, just above the driver, next to the sun visor, for optimum hands free connectivity.
This M3 was ordered from the factory with the High arch wing, LTW wheels, Alarm, 18 OBC, and manual sport seats, making it a very desirable optioned car with little to no work being needed for a solid classic BMW DD. The E36 M3 was once regarded as the best handling car in america, with "thinly disguised race car" attributes and looks, and this one is certainly a prime example of that. Originally an automatic, the car was professionally converted using brand new genuine BMW parts, and comes with a 2 year warranty on the work/clutch/parts. Have all receipts for the car, as well as both sets of keys/alarm fobs.
