Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Either the clutch slave cylinder or master cylinder is bad as occasionally the clutch pedal doesn't pop back up. You have to pull it with your foot and then it works fine. I drive it daily to commute and it's only happened once in two weeks. I've bled the slave and master and it's helped. There is no loss of fluid which makes me think it may just be I didn't bleed it well enough and there's still air in the system. There are a few cosmetic issues that need to be fixed. The headliner needs to be replaced (about $45 in parts and easy for a DIYer). The passenger side window rolls down but the gears slip when rolling up (I've got the bushing to repair this. Just need to put it in.). The left front fender was backed into by another car and needs replaced (about $100 for used fender and easy to swap out). Also, the driver side seat has two tears that were there when I bought it. The rest of the seats are in good condition for its age."

1997 BMW E36 M3 Coupe with 157,000+ miles. This is my daily commuter car. I've owned it for almost 10 years and bought it with about 80,000 miles. I put about $2,000 in maintenance repairs into when I first bought it and have maintained it with oil changes and required services since then. It's run solid and it only has one issue that needs to be addressed. Either the clutch slave cylinder or master cylinder is bad as occasionally the clutch pedal doesn't pop back up. You have to pull it with your foot and then it works fine. I drive it daily to commute and it's only happened once in two weeks. I've bled the slave and master and it's helped. There is no loss of fluid which makes me think it may just be I didn't bleed it well enough and there's still air in the system.

The left front fender was backed into by another car and needs replaced (about $100 for used fender and easy to swap out). Also, the driver side seat has two tears that were there when I bought it. The rest of the seats are in good condition for its age.

UPDATE: I put some BMW M Parallels wheels and new rear tires on this past week. The fronts still have plenty of tread. Today I did a motor flush to clean it out followed by a oil and filter change. I also changed out the spark plugs today, so it's running really well right now. I also dropped the price down $400. Make me an offer. It's ready to roll.

The only reason I'm wanting to sell is to get a four door (E39, E46, Audi A4 or A6) or wagon (Volvo V70 or Subaru Outback) so I can transport my kids around. This M3 has really low miles and would make a great commuter car, weekend car or track car. The M3 is a fun race car that BMW has been building since the early 90's (E30). The E36 is a great example of that racing heritage and a lot of fun to drive. It is a RWD 240hp Inline-6 engine that gets pretty good gas mileage (18 City / 26 Highway). 5-Speed manual. Dove-grey leather vader seats. Alpine Stereo with iPhone / iPod hookup in center console.

I'm located in Noblesville, just north of Indianapolis. Thanks.

2015 BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe are officially revealed [w/video]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The new 3.0-liter inline-six makes 425 turbocharged horsepower from 5500 rpm all the way up to 7300 rpm.
BMW has announced the 2015 M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, high-performance versions of the new 3 Series and 4 Series that launched this year. The new Ms have stirred controversy in a variety of ways, but one must remember that the M cars traditionally don't follow a specific mold.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
