View Full Version : FS: 96' M3 Estoril/Black 120k miles (NorCal)
Tristar 10-01-2007, 09:48 PM I'm crazy, yes it's true. I bought this car back in February (2007) from GRAY GOOSE (you can look up his original posting if you'd like). I haven't done much to it since I bought it, mostly wheel changes (three different kinds) and maintenance. Change the oil every 3-4k miles, and always watched the fluid levels. Washed it weekly, and gave it a full detail at the beginning and end of the summer. Estoril/Black is somewhat of a rare combination, usually you'll see most Estoril's with Dove interior. The condition of the interior is probably 8/10, the bolsters on the Vaders have some holes in them, and thats pretty much it. The rest including the rear seats are immaculate. Exterior: 9/10, theres some specs on the hood from rock chips, and very minor dings that you have to look for and barely notice even then. Many people who have seen the car in person will vouch that the paint is nice. I have all the paperwork from the previous 3 owners, and my own. Here is a rundown on the Mods on the car:

17" IFG wheels, super light and super rare.
B&B Triflow Exhaust
Ecis Intake w/heat shield

Buy it ;);)
E30Alpina 10-03-2007, 07:41 PM Lovely, not a fan of painted mouldings and handles but this car is gorgeous. The ACS wheels are perfect for it. Too bad I need to buy a house, good luck with the sale!!!
KnightRider/AMG 10-03-2007, 11:08 PM Why are you selling?
Tristar 10-04-2007, 12:09 AM Why are you selling?
I like change. Need something new in my life.
nismo skyline 10-04-2007, 12:38 AM hows the head gasket after the waterpump went out? did it overheat?
Tristar 10-04-2007, 01:10 AM hows the head gasket after the waterpump went out? did it overheat?
Turns out it was the thermostat, easy fix. I caught it early so it didnt overheat that much, the coolant light was coming on so I knew about it. I'll have my brother double check the HG to be safe. I might just replace the WP too for fun.

bshendy12 10-13-2007, 10:23 PM How do I search for last posts from Gray Goose?
Tristar 10-15-2007, 12:24 PM Just go to the search option, and look for all threads created by GRAY GOOSE. Bump.
Tr41t0R 10-15-2007, 01:39 PM If this was east coast i'd be all over it. Too bad i moved from san jose 6 years ago
Looks good! Any more interior pics... I am in the market for an e36 just like this and I'm in CA.

Tristar 11-01-2007, 06:06 PM Bump, car has almost 122k now. I'm willing to sell with Ds2's for 12k.
roush611 11-02-2007, 04:12 AM Can I kick your tires?
BKHuff 11-03-2007, 04:06 AM God, if I could sell my car fast enough I would buy it from you today. Come on 328i sell baby sell! This is exactly what I am looking for of course lower mileage would be nice but just perfect as is.
Baoser 11-07-2007, 05:14 AM i might be selling my car soon tristan..haha ill let u know =)
Tristar 02-21-2008, 04:49 PM Bump, sort of getting the itch again. Price lowered to $12k obo as is. Mileage is at about 127xxx now. Wheels have been changed to 17" IFG's, super light and rare but in need of tires, I can get tires but it will add in to the cost of the car.
KenAllen08 02-22-2008, 11:12 PM Amazing Car. Very Clean.
Chmpgn36 02-23-2008, 02:58 AM So sexy
Tristar 02-23-2008, 06:46 PM I want my E28 M5-Bump.
Tristar 02-27-2008, 12:36 AM Bumpity.
dwarfy123 03-04-2008, 11:02 PM Hey, is this still for sale? And do you still have the stock wheels? Or anyother wheels for that matter? I remeber looking at this like 4 months ago and it had the ACS t-2s
BKHuff 03-05-2008, 02:10 AM +1 on the still for sale... what's the mileage at now if it is?
Tristar 03-05-2008, 01:35 PM Still for sale, mileage is at about 127xxx. Don't have any other wheels than the IFG's.
Edit: Here's a picture of the new lip:

E30Alpina 03-05-2008, 01:42 PM Gotta say the car looks so much better with the new lip and unpainted moldings. Should have kept the ACS wheels though, I think they made the car. Good luck with the sale!!
slickav 03-06-2008, 06:17 PM Do you have other pics of the steering wheel, stereo etc.?
spencerp 03-06-2008, 09:01 PM omgosh soo nice id never sell that! you never see that color with black interior

Tristar 03-18-2008, 10:21 PM Up still.
Do you have pics of the engine? I would like to run car fax on it and would like to know what the VIN is.
Could I get a pic of the odometer reading?
You can send it to my email address, or pm me with the info....
Thanks

Finance the difference and make it a road trip. :buttrock
Bump for a good seller and a clean example.
eurocar328 05-22-2008, 09:03 PM Finance the difference and make it a road trip. :buttrock
Bump for a good seller and a clean example.
I just dont want to drain my account for a car, even with my love for the e36 m3. At least this one I know was cared for and is an excellent example of a clean e36. Im tired of talking to a bunch of idiots with e36 m3's for sale :rolleyes
Tristar, if you still have the car in a few months I'd def. be interested. Until then I need to keep saving :(
Good luck :)
Talon328 05-23-2008, 02:05 AM Hey...I am definitely interested. However I am a college student at UCLA and won't be home in the Bay Area until ~June 13. I don't know if you will have sold it by then, but if not I think I will have to check this out!
Few questions...
How much tire life and brake life are left? Is the steering tight? Do you have all the service records and spare tire/standard equipment? Has the cooling system (thermostat housing, radiator, fan clutch) been replaced? Also when were the last fluid changes?
Sorry for the multitude of questions. :P
Tristar 05-26-2008, 11:43 PM Car is sold. Thanks!
Bene36m3 05-27-2008, 09:43 AM if only it was in SoCal
