Hey guys, I'm in the market for my next car, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be an e36 M3 (lookin at the e46 too, but I think I like the e36). Anyway I live in Norcal, but am willing to drive to anywhere in Cali. I don't really want to buy a car out of the state because of all the paperwork etc., but I guess if the PERFECT car was out of state I might go for it if it's not too far. So to get to the point here's what I'm looking for:

- 98-99 with as low miles as possible, as stock as possible
- if it's a 98, a late production model, with the tri-spoke steering wheel
- Modena interior (LOVE this color)
- either coupe or convertible (no sedans, sorry)
- if it's a coupe, the Vader interior
- I'm not sure of the name of the wheels I like: http://www.wheelcollision.com/wccpix/59269.jpg

As of right now I'm also kinda set on the cosmos exterior, but I may change my opinion... Anyway I'm not forced to buy right now, I'll wait until I find something that I really like! I have $20k right now, but might be able to get my hands on more. Let me see your cars!

DUDE I totally saw your car at bimmerfest! Anyway I'll keep your car in mind, but I REALLLLLLLLLY want modena, so I think I'll hold out for now. Sweet ride though... BUMP

haha. .cool. just let me know if you change your mind. good luck!

bump...

nightly bump... if anyone has an M3 that's close to what I'm looking for I'd consider it. I know I've been a little specific, but AM willing to settle on a thing or two.

just bye mine already lol

change ur interior to modena and upgrade the year of the car by 3 or 4 years and we'll talk ;)

I dont think you can find a modena interior unless its a swap because it was a euro only option. I could be wrong tho. Good luck!

to my knowledge the modena was offered in the US in 97-99. but I might be wrong on that fact. I know that I have seen many modena M3's out there, so I'm guessing that they aren't all euros... BUMP

It was available in the US, it just wasn't common. I had a Boston Green/Modena '98 I sold a few months ago.
