General

Up for sale is an very clean example of an unmolested e36 M3. As these cars age, they're more and more likely to be modified and ragged out beyond recognition. I purchased this car completely stock and spent many hours getting the car into the condition it is in today. I think you'll get a large feel for the car's quality based on these pictures.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out by call/txt or email me.

Exterior

The Cosmos Black paint, and the car's structural body, are in excellent shape. Far better shape than examples with half it's mileage. Every panel is original and only a few door dings that you will have to really try to find. Most of the exterior condition can be explained by the pictures. The car just received a full detail including wash, clay, wash, compound, and polish/sealant. You're all set. The detail process was very easy and did not require that much correction work. The car is not being driven, and it's staying garaged, so expect the paint to show well for you. There's a few paint chips on the nose panel and quarter from traveling the 166k miles but nothing that isn't expected. There was oxidation on the truck, spoiler and rear bumper when I purchased the car and recently had that repainted by a reputable shop that I have used for years. Just a few months ago, I replaced all roundels on the hood, trunk, and wheels. I also replaced the M-badge as it was faded. I installed brand new fog lights in the car as well and buffed the headlight housings. Also replaced recently was the plastic windshield cowl and a brand new windshield with new Rain-X windshield wipers. All door handle covers and gaskets were replaced with OEM parts as well. The M-Contour wheels are all in excellent shape. Minor scuffing as you can see in the pictures but not much. The tires are fine. If you are planning to drive through winter and in snow, I would consider replacing sooner than later, but not necessary.

Interior

This interior is in great condition and only has minor wear. When I purchased the car, the seats were torn. I put used seats in the car that are in great condition as you can see and also replaced the seat back gears so they function as they should. The door panels are flawless and show very well. The carpets, dash, and plastics are in great condition and need no attention. If you are familiar with the wood in the E36 M3's, you know they all tend to crack over time. The wood around the console is crack as you can see in the pictures but is all there. I put brand new OEM Floor mats in the car last week. Replaced all lights in OBC. The headliner was recovered just a few months ago by a local upholstery shop that I have also used for years so no need to worry about it sagging in a year. It even has the original stereo and stickers on the cluster. Also has brand new Final Stage Unit for climate control. Analyze the pictures, they'll give you the story.



Mechanical

No problems are here for you to fix or fret over. The car runs great and has no check lights on. Since owning the car, I haven't really had to do anything mechanically. Brakes have plenty of life left on them and have no issues. I have not touched the suspension since taking ownership of the car. It feels fine but in no way would I consider it new. I don't have records of suspension work and I assume much of it is original. The suspension is the only thing you may want to consider addressing. Not knowing what the next owner of this car may want, I have chosen to leave it alone. Get in and drive it as is but to be upfront, if you want a very tight ride, you may want to consider replacing with Bilstein and H&R suspension.
