For Sale: Supercharged 1997 BMW M3 Coupé – Technoviolett Metallic/Black Leather
I am the third owner of this beautiful M3 Coupé, and have had it since February 2005. The reason I bought the car was to be a more comfortable daily driver (compared to my old E30). Since purchasing the car, I have added a few things to make it more entertaining on the road, without sacrificing the comfort and drivability of the car. I am selling because I want to move to something newer and with four doors.
The exterior is probably an 8.5/10 due to some rock chips, but the paint shines beautifully. The interior is beautiful, and a 9/10. The driver’s seat has had a minor repair to the leather and the door panels have been re-glued to eliminate interior rattles.


The Basics:
1997 BMW M3 Coupé
Technoviolett Metallic paint
Black Leather interior (power, Vader style seats)
harman/kardon premium sound (with 6-disc CD changer)
5-Speed Manual transmission
Power Sunroof

Aftermarket and OEM Upgrades:
- 17” SSR Competition wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires in OE sizes (less than 2k miles)
- OEM European ZKW ellipsoid headlights with 55w 4500K HID's
- OE European Clear Taillights/Side Markers/Corner Lenses with Stealth bulbs (look silver, illuminate amber)
- OE 3-Spoke steering wheel (from 1998.5 and later M3)
- PIAA Ion Yellow fog light bulbs
- Bilstein PSS9 adjustable coilover suspension kit
- AC Schnitzer carbon fiber front lip spoiler
- VF Engineering Supercharger (6 PSI) using Technique Tuning software
- UUC RSC36 exhaust system

Price: $14,000

A nice shot of the ride height. Low enough to look good, but perfectly stretable.


Note the subtlety and beauty of the ACS front spoiler.

I love the way the Technoviolett sparkles in the sun! Also check out the great CF weave on the front lip.

Pretty nice car. Hope it sells... but these days 14k for an M3 seems a bit high. Even with a S/C

[KnudsonM3]

i think 14 is a very good starting point.

but thats just me.

Great looking car, good luck with the sale!

[Tucked M3]

glws..these cars really seem to be falling off in value sadly enough

[SlammedE30]

Thanks for the kind words, all.

I'm open to offers, but I think the car is not far off in terms of the price.

Ted I can't believe you still have this car. I have been through 2 M3's and now a Jeep since I initially looked at it. Anyone looking for a beautiful coupe this is it. In top shape.

Thanks Chris. I stopped trying to sell it last year, and consequently put more money into it! It's even better than it was when you drove it.

What are you driving these days?
