SOLD
It hurts to offer this for sale but an e39m5 “fell in my lap” and I couldn’t turn it down.
1998 BMW M3 Sedan, 5 speed, Silver on Black Leather. Clean title in hand. 3 owners 0 accidents (I’m the fourth but I never registered it, drove it on a dealer plate). No check engine light, no fault codes or warning lights. All the body panels have original vin stickers on them. 201k miles. Over $6700 in recent maintenance alone, with receipts, and that’s just parts not labor. To be cliche, when people comment on my car the most often thing I hear is “clean.”
Pulls hard.

I have an excel file with more detail. It really feels like a crisp car. Holds a strong idle at the proper rpm’s. A/C blows cold. No rattles or noises. Interior is in excellent condition, shows very little wear. Doors have that solid feeling when you close them. Has that precise feeling putting the key into the ignition. Handles incredibly.
The headliner was sagging a bit in the rear so I painted industrial staples black and secured the headliner in a uniform fashion, one line across above rear passenger’s heads. Looks good. Paint has been touched up where needed, car has typical rock chips and scratches, to be expected. Going into 4th makes a little noise if you shift Vin Diesel hard, mostly when it’s cold (I never really beat on it). Front speaker channels get fuzzy sometimes, I may have a spare factory amp (they’re $30 on ebay). Left rear corner by the taillight pushed against something, it has been touched up with oem paint, same with the nose panel. Dimple on the trunk lid to the right of the license plate frame.
No problems other than what’s listed. Southern car, I picked it up personally from Dallas, PA and stored it during Buffalo “winter.” Never given me any problems. I drove it to Philadelphia, then NJ (for Gutenfest, e30 picnic) and back with no issues whatsoever.
It has received almost $7k in maintenance (just parts) in the past 4 years. Have receipts for everything, and can include e36m3 Bentley pdf.

I took a photo when I had the valve cover off for the profile gasket, nice and pretty
Interior pics were tricky, I’ll pull the car out and take some more next nice day. Interior is just as nice as the exterior. I’m also going to edit some artsy fartsy photos from the shoot (the pics in the ad are unedited) I’ll post the results.
