I bought the car from a dealer in Oklahoma who knew the prior owner(s). It was basically a weekend car and very well maintained/clean. It was a lux edition with modena interior. I swapped the interior for a black interior with vader seats. I dyed the door panel inserts blue to match the exterior and they turned out perfect with no signs of wear in over two years (daily driver).

I drive mostly highway miles to work each day and the car has been relatively carefree and completely reliable. With the Ground Control it handles like a dream. The car has been tracked a few times (I am an instructor) and autocrossed twice. The car has no creaks or any other problems. It has been a strong and carefree car. It is, quite honestly, one of the best M3's out there.

Asking $18,200 which includes a set of Mille Miglia 17" wheels with Blizzak LM-22 winter tires with nearly full tread. Might be willing to negotiate on the Kosei Wheels shown in a couple of the photos.

Pretty car

:werd:

oh god she is a beauty!!!! Fellow Jayhawker huh? went to med school in KU

Rock Chalk! Buy my car! :)

some of those pics show blue knob and shifter boot. are those still on the car? (hope not)

No. I switched back to black as shown in most of the photos. I still have the half black, half blue knob but have been using a ZHP knob for the last few months.

Man, I would buy this car in a heartbeat if my credit union would advance more than 130% of book.

Understood. But the car isn't "book" by any means. I know I am looking for a niche buyer. Hopefully I find one.

Oh, I didn't mean to insinuate that in any way. I couldn't care less what 'book' is on these cars, but unfortunately my bank does. (can't insert sad smiley - noob)

I'm definately your niche buyer just don't have the niche dough right now. I'm seriously considering selling one of my spare organs so if that goes through then you got yourself a buyer. (can't insert some kind of humorous smiley - this noob thing sucks)

I'll do it for you: :( :D

I hear Kidneys are going for top dollar these days. :stickoutt

Wow...what a beautiful car. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks. Bump.

I sent you an email but have not received a reply. tljonesco4@aol.com

Sorry for the delay. I did send you an e-mail the other day, but forgot the "4" in your e-mail address. :confused You should have an e-mail now with my response.

too sick

Thanks. Bump.

I think this is the best looking E36 I have ever seen. Way out of my price range, but good luck with the sale. Beautiful car.

-Nick

That car looks familiar....

BUMP!

Sweet car. Estoril and Black leather is a very rare color combo - one of my favorites. I had Estoril with dove gray, which looked nice, but it was a pain in the a$$ to keep looking new as the car got older. I like the CSL replicas on this car too. Good luck with your sale.

Sorry I missed it, does it come with the replica CSLs and the Koseis, or are you only including one set of wheels?

Lawn Dart --- You have a personal message with my response and contact info.

Great looking car. G/L with the sale

why does your car have a 95 nose panel?

The '96 M3 had the same front end as the '95. Changed in '97.

sent you a PM

New price: $18,200

That is a SEXY ///M, pretty car man. Love the door panels

Thanks.

Good luck with your sale. Definately top dollar asking price, but it appears to be a really well kept car for the right buyer who has some extra cash. :redspot:alright

Id be all over this if it wasn't over my budget

Why oh why isn't this gone yet!?! C'mon people!:D

I paid the same price for my '96 in March. I'm sure you'll find the right buyer soon enough!:)

another BUMP from a fellow Estoril/Black owner!:buttrock

Thanks. I never said I wouldn't take reasonable offers. :)

Bump for the weekend.

Where did you get that steering wheel? I MUST have one.

We had a group buy of the RAID steering wheels from Europe a couple of years ago. I'll sell you mine for $18,200 with a free M3 attached to it. :D

id be lieing if i said i wasnt sexual aroused by that car....

:D

I responded to the PM's. Thanks.

hey Patrick, quite a car you have there.

How often would you expect the coilovers need to be rebuilt?
Also, are you still on the stock clutch?

thanks!

They should not have to be "rebuilt" as they have a lifetime warranty. I lower the setup and clean it out from time to time, but no "rebuild" is necessary. These only have about 35k mi on them and are in excellent condition.

It is still the stock clutch.

SOLD!!!

damn! I was waiting for my STI to sell, then this was the top car on my list.
congrats though. Let us know if you see any others similar to yours.

Do you mind PM'ing how much you sold it for?

She is mine!!! :redspot:redspot:redspot

Just wish I wasn't leaving for Arkansas tomorrow...I'm going to miss my bimmers:(

varmint007 I paid a little less than he was asking; but not to much.

Thanks Patrick, this was an excellent first experience.

I miss her already. :(

:D Enjoy her!!!

She is mine!!!

I have some extra room in my garage - and I might even return it to you when you get home. [ can't post smiles yet - arg]

Congrats man, that car is pretty much perfect as far as what I'm looking for. I'm curious about how those coilovers treat you for daily driving... Seems to be a popular upgrade on the E36.

I miss her already. :(

:D Enjoy her!!!

Me too!!! You'll see her again, in a little less than a month. :buttrock

Yes she is pretty much perfect, drives like new and as far as the coilovers go they ride nicer than my Koni/UUC setup on my ZHP; now I just have to find the time to drive her:(
