BMW M3 (1999)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

Up for your consideration is my 1999 BMW E36 M3 that I am reluctantly offering for sale. This is one of three M Cars currently in my possession and one of 6 M3’s I’ve owned over the years. The E36 is probably my favorite of all M3’s as it is was still pretty raw and void of all the technology gizmos that take away from the driving experience. This particular example presents well for its age and is 1 of only 35 brought to the US in Fern Green with Black interior. This car is a driver and not a show car, therefore, I’ll describe the good and the bad. There are the expected stone chips and small scratches but overall the paint looks pretty good for its age and there are no dents. Typical wear on side bolsters with no tears.
I purchased this car in July of 2012 with 147, 800 on the odometer and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on the car performing maintenance, replacing wear items and have many receipts accordingly. As it does not wear the original hood or front fenders I had the car put on a frame machine to ensure it is dimensionally correct, had a BMW Master Technician replace the RTAB’s, front struts and perform a full alignment to restore the glorious handling properties and it is dialed in nicely.
Furthermore, since owning the car the entire cooling system has been replaced with a new radiator, cooling hoses, water pump, expansion tank, fan/clutch and thermostat housing. The shifter bushings have been replaced, a new clutch, flywheel and center support bearing, motor mounts and Guibo have been installed, new rear discs and pads, fuel filter, brake flush, brake switch, A/C belt tensioner and pork chop panels on the front air dam.
I have documents that show the A/C Condenser was replaced at 116, 152, and at 140, 368 the car received new front disks, pads, wheel hubs, bearings and axle nuts (12/2009).
I sourced and purchased a set of OEM Double Spoke II rims, installed new center caps and wrapped them in a set of Goodyear Eagle F1’s less than 1, 000 miles ago.
I also replaced all 8 crappy Harman Kardon speakers with the BAVSOUND Stage One upgrade kit. The car has the factory head unit, amplifier, on board computer and all the pixels work flawlessly. There are no fault lights, and the only thing needing immediate attention is the driver’s side power window. There is power at the switch and the window functions intermittently leading me to suspect a loose wire.
Things that will need to be addressed in the future are the headliner which is sagging along the doors slightly, and there appears to be a loose ground wire that I have not yet located that causes the amp to cut out on acceleration sometimes and comes back on during braking, but, it only happens during cold weather. The head unit never loses power however. When the amp cuts out the ABS/ASC lights illuminate and reset when the ignition is turned off.
There are several broken clips that mount the side skirts to the car, and I have already purchased the clips. I have quite a few other clips, fasteners, oil and filter and some other spares that I’ll throw in with the purchase as well as a freshly powder coated X Brace if I get my asking price.
My reserve price is way below my cost and any enthusiast who has wrenched on one of these cars will know that I have spent a considerable amount of money on the car bringing it back to this condition mechanically. It’s not perfect, but it’s ideal for someone who can appreciate an older car that is so rewarding to drive. If you’re looking for a cheap used car, you’re probably reading the wrong ad.
I am under no pressure to sell, and am only considering it now because I have other interests to occupy my time. I have a 4 post lift so anyone wanting to perform a PPI may do so by appointment. Ride along only as I am the only one allowed to push the go pedal until the car is paid in full and the funds have cleared. I have a clear Texas title in hand ready to sign over.
I reserve the right to end auction early for any reason. The car is being offered as-is, with no warranty. I will not ship and transportation arrangements are the sole responsibility of the buyer. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction end, the balance in cash, wire, or certified funds within 7 days. Vehicle must be removed from property within one week of payment clearing my bank.
Feel free to email with questions and thank you for looking.
