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

OP I give you my car for a few months you work your magic and I buy you all the beer you can drink
Your last project was great I can't wait to see where this one goes
Nice car. What are your plans for it?
Very nice score, I believe I saw this on Craigslist as well.
I remember seeing your old car back when I had my 95. 5 days after I got my 97 I see you with your new car! Can't wait to see the progress.
Wow, are those pics real?!!
Nice pick-up, the paint doesn't look faded even the slightest bit
Still loving the 335i?

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
