As the title states, I am looking for a 1997-1999 E36 M3 in Southern California...in Estoril blue. I am open to sedans ('97-98) or coupes ('97-99), although ideally I would like to get my hands on a *mint* coupe. The car must have low mileage, and be in near perfect condition. I have cash in hand, so if the right car comes along...I am game! :redspot


If you would like to email me info/pics, send them to sacsjunk@gmail.com Thanks!

He emailed me a brief message...as he is out of town at the moment. He said he would entertain offers over $30k. I don't think I will be jumping on that one merely because that is not only an aggresive asking price, but you can pick up used E46 M3's in the $27-30k range. Meh...we will see what he has to say. Thanks! :stickoutt

I will get Estoril...just not that one if he doesn't want to sell it for a reasonable price. We will see... :stickoutt

As the title states, I am looking for a 1997-1999 E36 M3 in Southern California...preferably an Estoril or Dakar sedan ('97-98) or coupe ('97-99). I will also consider white, but the car must have low mileage. I have cash in hand, so if the right car comes along...I am game! :redspot
