1996 BMW M3  
155,600 miles

Rare Boston Green exterior with Modena leather interior  
Rare luxury package

**Features:**  
Automatic climate control  
Full OBC  
Power driver and passenger seats  
One touch up and down windows  
Power moonroof  
Traction control  
LSD rear diff  
Keyless entry with factory alarm

**The good/replaced parts:**  
_No rust at all_ (Originally a Florida car and has never seen a NY winter)  
Clutch is strong  
Rear trailing arm bushings  
Rear shock mounts  
Radiator  
Aluminum thermostat housing  
Aluminum water pump  
New VANOS solenoid  
New VANOS oil line  
New cam sensor  
New Continental DWS tires (about 4k miles)  
Newish brakes  
Newish Bosch +4 spark plugs  
Apline MP3 CD player connected to factory Harmon Kardon 10 speaker with amp  
Newish shocks/struts  
New Z4 shifter and bushings  
Newish window motors/regulators in both doors  
Projector headlights with angel eyes

**The bad:**  
Paint fading and clear coat peeling on bumpers and roof in some spots  
Both front seat side bolsters torn

I’ve owned the car since 2005 and have loved every second of having it, just time for me to move on. It’s totally stock, not beaten on, never tracked. Engine pulls hard, runs great, handles great, puts a smile on your face like only an ///M car can. It’s only issues are the paint and interior as mentioned. Outside of those cosmetics its mechanically sound. Would make a great daily driver, potential track car, someone who wants to repaint and restore a rare optioned M3, or just someone looking to get into an M3 for cheap. Anything else just ask.

$6900 BO  
No trades  
No I will not take payments  
No I don’t care if ‘you would totally buy this in the spring’  
Cash and its yours

Bravo! So many tire kickers on automotive sites, “I’ll totally have the cash after 40 more paychecks”
