    1998 Cosmos on black M3/4/5 - No Longer Available

    1998 Cosmos on black M3/4/5

    I've decided to sell my '98 E36 M3. I've had it a couple years and simply don't drive it nearly enough to warrant it taking up the garage space. It's Cosmos black on black leather with 159,xxx miles. Heated manual seats (lighter then power). It has a Ground Control coilover suspension kit, UUC exhaust, new poly rear trailing arm bushings, newer water pump, Mishimoto aluminum radiator, short shifter kit (not sure of brand, previous owner installed it), fresh custom headliner wrap (pillars were also wrapped in plain black headliner fabric), full internal glass headlight overhaul with new TRS projectors and 5000k HID kit, reinforced front strut mounts (welded and reinforcement plates, trunk latch reinforcement, basically a brand new square set of Apex wheels in 17x9" +30 with again basically brand new Hankook V12 tires in 235/40, and a year old battery. All the maintenance is up to date and it was JUST inspected in March.

    The bad-it has the typical power steering leak, leaning shifter and sagging glovebox. The OBC also needs bulbs. It still functions, it's just tough to read unless in perfect light. Also the starter solenoid doesn't work well once the car is up to temp. It will still start, but sometimes it takes a few tries. I wouldn't and don't hesitate to drive the car anywhere with the condition the starter is in as it's never not started. Just something I felt I should obviously mention.

    I've replaced other odds and ends since owning it, (i.e., OEM Amber corner lamps, intake boot, front lip...) Overall the car is in excellent shape. The only blemishes besides the normal wear and tear on 18 year paint is a small dent above where the trunk closes and a small rust bubble around the license plate (which I've photographed). I'm asking $9k and am firm on the price. I am not looking to trade as I have too many cars as it is. The car is being sold as-is and as seen minus the front license plate bracket. Please feel free to email, call, or text me with any questions-607.759.8563, Mike.

    Thanks. To be honest, I strongly considered not even photographing it due to how poorly the photo does it justice. It looks really fantastic in person and the photo makes it look very poor in my opinion. It actually follows the exterior color scheme of the car. Thanks for the post.
