FS: 1997 BMW E36 M3/4/5 Estoril, No sunroof, staggered LTW, Star Spec Z1

[blyguy]

Hello - I purchased this great car from GaryK last summer and have been cleaning it up and using it as my daily driver. I live in San Diego and the car was from the Virginia area previously. It's got a nice history from multiple enthusiasts, and GaryK took excellent care of the car mechanically. I matched the color on panels from a prior deer run-in and added the LTWs, Z1s and Bilstein Sport shocks. The car has stock E36 M3 sedan springs now so I could compete in stock class autocross here.

Also, I have the previous suspension included with the sale. (Shortened front strut housing, koni struts which need revalving, AKG coilover sleeves, H&R rear race springs)

** it's light, no sunroof, manual seats, no cruise control from the factory. **


PRICE: 1/31/2012 Price Drop to $7000

FYI I purchased it from Gary for $6500 plus a lot work has been done to make this a good deal for someone. I'm selling due to buying an X535d last month.Mileage: 192,xxx miles

Clear Virginia title
(don't mind the Illinois plates in the pics, they were on there temporarily)

I will make sure the car will pass smog prior to purchase. It's the law for CA buyers. OBD 2 system is 100% intact.

Airbag light on for passenger side receptacle, I just ignore it.

Overall a very solid car, you can take autocrossing or drive daily. The color is cool and no sunroof so you can comfortably wear your helmet.


enjoy the pics:

Any feedback folks? :)

[Brust]

So you're in CA now? I got a little confused with the VA title, Ill plates and San Diego reference.

[carrerars]

Interested, can you email me at carrerars@pacbell.net

[drparham]

Where is this car located exactly?

[acrrrn]

drooling

[Black Belt M3]

Nice looking M3, had the exact same car 2 summers ago. Very confused myself where you/the car is located. Clutch, cooling system, vanos, bushings been replaced? Thanks

[SavantM3]

Wish the interior was black I would buy to swap !!

[Forged328]

Great for sale ad. Well done

[M3Rob95]

Any rust???

[Knight F Mohawk]

To echo....location?

-Will

[blyguy]

Sorry for the confusion everyone.

The car and I are in San Diego for good. The car was purchased in Virginia and driven to Chicago, where I lived last year. Then I got a new job in San Diego and had the car shipped here in August.

I have not *ahem* registered/titled the car in CA purely out of lack of time and scheduling. Also laziness on my part :)

The Illinois plates are from my previous E30 and are no longer on the car.

The M3 has the Virginia title signed over to me and it is 100% clear.

I will have the car smogged and titled in CA prior to any sale at my expense.

Thanks!
Bryant

I have some questions about the car? Text me 661.492.2958 thank you

[VahramHS]

PM sent.

[garyk]

If I was close enough to buy this car back, I'd do it today. I'm still kicking myself for selling it! I think I'll check on shipping costs to get it back to me, I'd love to have this car back.

[carrerars]

Hope you guys have better luck, seller never responded to my post.

[blyguy]

Sorry - email sent to carrerars

[VadGTI]

Strange... Was interested in the car when it was in VA and now it's here in SoCal. I'd like to check it out, possibly this weekend.

[tigermack]

How's the AC? Blows cold? I might come down from Norcal to check it out... any recent work to the cooling system? How's the RSM?

[M3Rob95]

HOT!!!

You never answered me about the rust... Any?

Thanks

[rva]

Shoot me an email at jowrenn80 at yahoo.com

[kwipp]

nice looking car especially for 192k miles

[E36M3Sickness]

Wow looks amazing for the 192 mileage. Was the transmission and the Motor ever rebuilt along with the Vanos as well.

[CosmoSale]

Ahh, love the LTWs!

[E36M3Sickness]

Still waiting on reply

[Brake_L8]

Bump for a good car. Gary's a great guy (we autocross together in VA) and while he drove the hell outta that car at AX, I know it was cared for regardless.

[carrerars]

Seller said it had sold this past weekend. Congrats to the new owner.

Its nice to see my old car go to yet another enthusiast. Most fun/ reliable car I have ever owned.
