I am pleased to offer you my gorgeous 1998 E36 BMW M3
Sedan! This car is a great value and
exceptionally clean. Most importantly, it’s
fitted with a rare set of factory options and is a very desirable color
combination. To clear the air of the
negative first, the price is set below market value because this M3 has a
rebuilt title due to a fender bender to the front passenger fender which has
been replaced. Other than this kink in the history, the car is awesome and
passed a PPI with flying colors.
Obviously, it has impacted the value because it is what it is, but aside
from having a nasty looking Carfax report, this car has zero structural defects
or frame damage as per BMW. Onto the good stuff! First and foremost, eBay allows only 24 photos, so you can visit this link to see over 80 photos with everything you will need, if you require more please ask. Link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37317659@N04/ This is my 7th M3 and my 10th BMW, this
acts as a 3rd vehicle to my new Mercedes Benz E Class as well as a
Ford F150. When I purchased the E36, my
intent was to make it a rock solid daily driver to keep the miles off my new
car. It has worked out perfectly and I never planned to sell this car, however
I now need to get something larger. Unfortunately my beloved M3 must go. I am active on the forums (mostly Bimmer Forums) and have
been for 9 years. I was even on Roadfly
back in the 90s when that was popular. I
am so particular with my cars and their cosmetic and mechanical condition, as
you read on you will see how meticulous I can be. For starters, this M3 needs NOTHING. When I say NOTHING, I mean it! Everything has been upgraded, serviced,
inspected, and addressed as much as possible.
The car was dealer serviced in TX for most of its life. All of the routine services have been done,
Inspection 2 was done earlier this year.
It has 1 bar left till an oil service is due. Factory options include: Alpine White Exterior MODENA Leather Interior Harmon Kardon Premium Sound Heated Front Seats Factory Installed M Rear Wing (makes a big difference!) Sunroof Side Airbags Manual Transmission As you know, a white M3 is hard enough to find, let alone
one in a sedan with a manual transmission! All of the below items have been addressed/replaced since
120,000 miles and most of the original parts are included with the sale along
with most of the service history: New Brake Pads and Rotors (Hawk – they do not squeak or
cause a lot of break dust. Awesome
system, original pads included) All new lighting – glass 5000K HID Xenon Headlamps and all
OEM BMW Red/Clear Euro Lighting. All
bulbs also replaced to freshen up the car.
All stock lighting (amber and both headlights) included with the sale. The HIDs are the correct OEM style color of a
newer BMW. UUC Transmission Mounts New OEM BMW battery Black OEM BMW M3 Floormats New tires and alignment (Hankook Ventus V12 Evos) 6k miles
ago New Flex Disk Complete Inspection 2 Performed at last service – includes
coolant flush, brake flush, oil change, filter changes, etc. Complete shifter rebuild – new bushings, pre bent M Coupe
Shifter, ZHP M Shift Knob New Windshield (original one had lots of small rock chips in
it) Professionally Tinted Windows Complete OBC Pixel Rebuild (no dead spots in the LCD screen) New Fan and Fan Clutch (OEM parts) As new OEM 3 Spoke M Steering Wheel and Airbag – this is
also wrapped in the “newer” BMW Montana Leather, which means it is thick and
chubby like the newer BMW M wheels, but is still a period correct steering
wheel. This alone was almost
$1,000. JVC interior matching head unit. This has a nice amber color match and is
Bluetooth audio compatible, I have an iPhone and it syncs great with this and I
can listen to music right from my phone completely wireless. Front Seats were redyed Modena – it looks OK I would give
the front seats a conservative 6.5/7 out of 10 since the passenger seat had a
tear that was patched (see photos) – to really make the interior perfect, you
can buy OEM leathers for this car for $700.
It would make the interior a 10. I
have factored this into my pricing. The rest of the interior is exceptional. The headliner is perfectly clean and is not
sagging ANYWHERE. The steering wheel is
as new, dash is crack free and all of the pixels in the OBC, odometer and the
climate control system are bright and intact.
The AC is ice cold. The back seat
is also in excellent condition. Dinan mods include (all performed by a Dinan Authorized
Dealer and Service Center in Tampa FL): Dinan Free Flow Exhaust Dinan Cold Air Intake Dinan Stage 2 Engine Software These mods REALLY make the car perform crisp and sound
amazing without sacrificing the OEM BMW quality. The software also enhances the fuel economy. Other than the title, the only other negatives are that the
front seats are not perfect. Also the
coolant level sensor on the OBC is defective, it will occasionally show “check
coolant” when you shut the car off. I
have replaced all of the coolant parts of the car, including the sensors and
this randomly pops up. The technician
that works on the car confirms this is common and the cooling system is
perfect. If you are trying to restore this car to as close to new as
possible, the new leathers would be a great addition to the interior, if you
plan to drive this car, I wouldn’t even worry about it. Everything else is super clean, headliner is pristine, there
is not a dent or scratch on any of the panels (yea...really!) and the paint is
clean and glossy with a great shine. I touched up a bumper ding with some OEM BMW
paint and took a photo, its hardly visible.
3 original keys, original manuals and service records with
receipts are included with the sale.
Also included is a copy of the original build sheet and dealer service
history directly from BMW! All I can tell you is take a look at the rest of the E36 M3s
on the market in this price range, they are ratted out, poorly modified, worn,
questionably maintained and very tacky looking.
This will make a great car for someone looking for M3
quality without the big M3 price tag, it would even make a great first car.
Very reliable, AWESOME MPG and just a fun car to drive. I can be reached via eBay messaging or via text messaging
(iPhone) to 727-599-6626 which I can also send additional photos and discuss
the car. Keep in mind the car is used and 15 years old, so I am sure
under close scrutiny you will find a chip here or there, I am not advertising a
perfect car, but an exceptionally nice car for the value that can be driven. I have bought and sold ALL of my BMWs via the internet, so I can provide a few references if needed. Thank you. |

Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
BMW tests M Lap Timer App with M4 Coupe at Brands Hatch
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The 2015 BMW M4 looks to include all the necessary ingredients to offer dynamite driving experience. It's an M car after all. But in today's constantly connected world, the experience of hurtling a car around a track isn't always enough.
We want data, and while there are some solid telemetry apps available for smartphones (notably Harry's GPS LapTimer), manufacturers have been a bit slower to develop their own dedicated mobile telemetry trackers for their performance cars. With the new M4, though, BMW is taking the plunge, allowing drivers to track their lap progress through a new app, creatively called the M Lap Timer.
To show off the program, BMW has recruited touring car racer Andy Priaulx to perform a fast lap in an M4 at the UK's Brands Hatch circuit. The accompanying video doesn't do much to show off the app in action. Rather, it give us a stylized look at the metrics as Priaulx hustles BMW's hottest 4 Series coupe around the circuit.
X4 launch to spearhead BMW crossover onslaught at NY Auto Show
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's no secret that crossovers are one of the key vehicle types driving today's auto industry profits, and nowhere is that more true than among the world's luxury brands. BMW became one of the first players in the luxury CUV segment when it launched its original X5 in 1999, and buoyed by that model's runaway success, it followed up with the X3 in 2003, the X6 in 2008 and the X1 in 2009 (though the latter didn't make it to the US until late 2012). It's replaced the X5 twice since then and the X3 once, but the Bavarian automaker isn't about to let matters rest there.
First off, a production version of a new X4 model is expected at the New York Auto Show in April. The model was previously rumored to be earmarked for reveal a month earlier, but a new report from Autocar suggests that the previously mooted reveal date and location were inaccurate. The X4 is expected to apply the same controversial slant-back formula to the X3 that transformed the X5 into the X6, which will in turn lead to an update for the X3 as well.
But that's not all. Autocar also reports that before 2014 is out, BMW will unveil a revised X6 at the Moscow Motor Show in August, which will in turn be followed by upgraded versions of both the X6 M and X5 M. These high-performance crossovers are tipped to pack the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 as the outgoing versions, albeit with higher outputs than the current models' 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. All this, and they're still expected to simultaneously improve fuel consumption and emissions figures.
