Hello!  Regretfully selling my 1995 M3 Boston Green/Champagne coupe with only 36.5k mi.  Here are the specs:

- Boston Green exterior/Champagne leather interior
- automatic transmission
- luxury package (includes luxury seats, wood dash panels and different front bumper)
- brand new floor mats (I have the originals - still in great shape)
- currently ~36,500mi

The car is completely stock and 100% original- it has never been tracked, raced, or modified in any way. I am the third owner, although CarFax shows a 4th due to the car being transferred to an estate following the death of the original owner. The car was originally purchased as a custom order in Palm Springs, CA and driven in both California and Arizona. I purchased the car from an enthusiast who sold to to make way for his new Nissan GT-R.

The car has always been garaged, and the paint is excellent. The body is very straight and without any dings, dents, or scratches. Their is, however, a minor etch in the clear coat from a bird dropping on the roof- approximately the size of a nickel. All moldings, corner indicators, fogs, taillights and headlights have remained crystal clear and the plastic guards beneath the front bumper cover are all intact. The wheels are in average shape due to parallel parking mishaps from the original owner.

The interior in this car is in unbelievable condition. Champagne leather is fairly unique/rare and goes well with the luxury seats (these are not "Vaders") and the Bostongrun exterior. The leather is in remarkable shape and feels very soft- no cracks, discoloration or scuffs. Rear and passenger seat are in nearly unused and perfect condition. Some small wear exists on the driver side seat bolster (please see the photos)- I use a seat cover and regularly clean the seats. Headliner, carpets and mats (brand new, but I have the originals) are in top shape and without any stains or markings. Further, all the electronic components on the dash function and automatic seats adjust in all directions.

The engine is very smooth and quiet and the VANOS engages and disengages properly. The car handles well and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly and each mode- sport, economy, and manual. Comes with a cover, all factory tools, and the original spare. The car has always been maintained properly and all fluids are current.  R
ecent maintenance with all OEM fluids/parts (except as noted): engine oil (Redline 10W-40) and filter, intake filter, coolant, water pump (Stewart, aluminum impeller), thermostat, both accessory drive belts, power steering (Redline ATF), differential fluid (Redline 75W90), brake fluid flush, and fuel filter.  I have records dating back to the second owner, but nothing prior except the original keys (including valet), owners manual, and demo cassette tape.  All early records were lost during the transfer to the estate. The tires are Yokohama S Drive with ~30% remaining.

Inspections, at buyer expense, are welcome. If you are local, I would encourage you to come to see the car in person. Will ship anywhere. If you are looking for a very well cared for, low mileage, outstanding E36 M3, this is it.
Car is located in beautiful, sunny San Diego, CA.  Many thanks for your interest!

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay

Wed, Sep 30 2020

ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue  our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.   Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover

BMW releases complete pricing info on M3 and M4

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When BMW unveiled the M3 and M4 at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, we told you that the new sportsters were starting at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively. That leaked info, though, only told a small part of the story for the new M cars. Now, we have the complete pricing sheet on the new coupe and sedan, direct from BMW.
The pricing intel that we had at the time was correct - prices start at $62,000 for four doors and $64,200 for two. Those prices don't include the $925 destination charge. Potential customers should also plan on spending an extra $550, as seven of the eight paint options are of the metallic variety. BMW's trademark Alpine White is the only no-cost paint option.
As for the cabin, customers will, interestingly, have the choice of a cloth/leather combination as standard. That's in addition to the standard suite of leather options. There are also extended leather and full leather options, for $950 and $3,500, respectively. There are three option packages available, covering all the extra goodies for the M3 and M4.
