This car is fast, comfortable, refined and in superb mechanical condition. If you’re looking for a well-maintained and pampered E36 M3, this is your car. Car is located in Jacksonville, FL vicinity. This is a truly great car. I hate to let it go. $24,950 OBO

I’m happy to answer any questions you have about the car, and I’m willing to consider any reasonable offer.

Please contact me if interested: e36m3s52@yahoo.com (okay to send PM, too)

Bump.

I've dropped the price to $21,950. Excluding installation costs, I have over $5,000 in mods, many correcting inherent E36 M3 weaknesses: suspension, rear shock mounts, and underpanel.

Inspection II performed a few weeks ago. New rear toe bushings, E46 RSM's, installed with H&R coilovers in August. JTD underpanel installed this month.

Full list of mods on my previous post. The car is tight, solid and rattle-free. It's in perfect condition and needs absolutely nothing (except a new owner).

Would very much appreciate feedback if any of you think that my price is out of line.

Thanks,

Andy

No Preppy, I prefer manual transmissions. I checked out the pics on your site though, and your 328is is a great looking ride. Hope you're able to sell it soon. Check back with me when you do.

Good luck,

Andy

I no longer have the stock exhaust, nor the stock suspension, so it's my hope to sell it as a complete package.

If I wind up selling the car to a dealer (a last resort and not a happy thought), I'll part out the ECIS CAIS, the front and rear AA strut braces, and the X-Brace only.

I'll sell you the Gen.III exhaust right now if you're also willing to buy the car that's attached to it:D

Ali,

The H&R coilovers are fully adjustable, front and rear. The kit came with spanner wrenches to adjust/set ride height.

Currently, I'm running a very mild 1" drop, front and rear. It's a perfect balance for me between handling and ride comfort. There's plenty of room left for a greater drop if desired.

Here's a link with info regarding the coilovers (I got them at Tirerack):

BTW, the H&R coilovers are fantastic. Expensive, but the best suspension I've had on any car, period.

Have Amir contact me if he's interested.

Thanks,

Andy

Man this is a sweet car at a sweet price. Its too bad I am not selling the car till spring. It will most likely not be around then, but if for some chance it is, I would take it off your hands. I am looking to get rid of my highly tuned XI in the spring for an E36 M3. trying to lower payments on the 944. Good Luck with the sale, it should go fast.

Here's a pic of what I'm driving now:
