BMW M3 (1997)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

This car is a fantastic driver, and really fast. The A/C blows cold, heat works great, it has been maintained to the highest level. The Racelogic traction control is such a great feature in this high horsepower car, allowing you to dial in settings for slip percentage as well as a dry and wet setting and launch control. It has saved me more than once! The M3/4/5 is rather rare in the sedan form with a 5-speed manual. This car is also a great sleeper maintaining the stock appearance, it has surprised many. It has been on of the most fun cars I have ever owned and driven. I'm sure the next owner will truly love it.

General Stuff
-160, 345 miles
-Audio - the factory amplifier was replaced with blaupunkt adjustable passive crossovers and the the head unit with a pioneer. Ipod integration and bluetooth work well. Speakers(10) all upgraded to BSW. Overall sound is decent. Good for alt-rock not so much if you are into bass-heavy stuff.
-Wheels are OEM contours. Very good shape. Passenger front has a very small curb rash that you can barely see.
-Comes with 10 years of paper work and misc parts accumulation, including 3 additional OEM contours and some of the stuff you would need to put the car back to stock - exhaust manifolds, ASC throttle body, etc.
-Door panels all in good shape. Problems here were religiously addressed with epoxy.
-New Depo projector headlights
-New factory size 225/45/17 and 245/40/17 Sumitomo Tires, less than 200 mi.
The Bad
-The paint, while original and garage-kept, has some defects, light chips on front hood, light scratches. On the rear there is some light rubbing and wear where I used a bike rack. Overall the paint looks good with zero clear coat issues.
-Seats are functional but leather is showing its age. Brand new Sparco R300 driver's seat with planted base and sparco sliders, still have stock seat. Rear seat has some scratches from child-seat installation. I routinely used the BMW leather treatment to try and slow the decline.
-Doesn’t have remote entry
-The crankcase breather vent will leave a drop of oil on your garage floor on occasion
-The southbend clutch, while pretty streetable by high-performance clutch standards, is not as easy to work as a stock clutch. In heavy stop-and-go traffic it can be a bit of a bear.
-E36 plastic interior bits. A pillars held in with screws. The glovebox was glued and is holding.
