    Here we go again Matt's E36 M3 part 2

    Hi guys,
    Many of you remember me from my last project
    http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1532318
    Well, I was lurking online and saw what it looked to be a pristine 95 M3... I wasn't looking to purchase another one BUT, since the car was local I had to go see it.
    Sent an email to the owner and we agreed to meet, drive was short, within 10' I was at his garage.
    As I was getting closer to the car my eyes ddid not believe how clean the car was, I inspected every inch of it and couldn't find anything wrong with it.
    I then decided to go for a test drive, car drove smooth and as if the car was brand new!
    I told the guy I was going to think about it and went home... I then had to decide if I was up to the challenge again and if I really wanted another E36 M3.
    Today, I asked the guy to look at it one more time, we meet around noon and again I was speechless... so right there decided to buy it .
    Went to the bank, pulled the cash and within 30' I was driving home with a 95 Dakar Yellow M3.
    Got home, and decided to go through all the records provided, the previous owner had every single record including every oil change since day one.
    I also found the sticker price
    Well enough with the typing, few pics... will start modifying it starting this weekend
    One owner M3 with 106k is now under my roof





    **Updated pics on post #212 or here**

    Wow, here we go again!

    Nice find -- I've always been a fan of the Dakar M3s. For some reason yellow cars run in my family and I could see owning a nice Dakar M3 to complement the rest some day

    What are your plans for this one? Clean stock or extreme modded?

    it's like deja vu all over again

    at least there are still non-noobs making threads not about what is the best oil or other stupid crap they refuse to use the search (or google) for


    Dakar Yellow coupes FTW (but I still want a Dakar sedan)
