    1998 E36 M3 Silv/magma, 92k miles, 5-speed

    Up for sale is a clean CarFax, no accident history 1998 BMW M3. Although I drive an E46 M3, this is the first model that made me fall in love with them.

    Rare color combo (Titanium silver with magma interior), options include LTW wheels, Vader seats, OBD Computer, and HK audio. It spent most of its life in the south, and spent the last few years in a garage barely being driven.

    Mechanically, there are no strange noises, no fluid leaks on the floor. The car tracks straight, corners well, pulls hard to redline, and temps stay steady.

    Early maintenance performed at the dealer, and is visible on the CarFax. I have receipts for the recent maintenance performed, including:
    AC compressor & receiver replacement
    Alignment (.01 total toe-in)
    Brake fluid flush
    Brake master switch (fixed the brake circuit failure message)
    Differential service
    Drive belts
    Engine mounts
    Front Tie rods
    Passenger side window lock actuator & window regulator replaced
    Spark plugs
    Suspension refresh: Sachs shocks, new bump stops, dust covers, bellows, Bimmerworld rear shock reinforcement plates
    Transmission fluid service
    Transmission mounts
    Transmission selector seal (rear)

    Other items (such as tires, brakes, clutch, cooling system, rear subframe, valve cover gaskets, etc) were checked but did not need replacement.

    Body - when I bought the car, the hood and windshield were damaged because the previous owner drove with the hood not locked down. I purchased an OEM hood from BMW and got a painter i trust to do the work, and it looks great - very good color match, no orange peel.

    It took me a long time to find a local, late model run E36 M3 with this mileage, in this condition. I’ve priced it fairly - not as high as perfection, but not as low as the more worn cars. You’ll love driving it, and you won't have to put in the time I did to get it properly baselined.

    Might want to include milage.
    Just for fun I'm going to take a guess. 104k?
    Cool combo, and a good price pending any issues. These are the sweet spot for these cars. Not pristine enough to sit under a cover, but nice enough to hop in, drive and take to C+C and remind people how much they love these cars.
    Edit: my bad, saw milage in the title afterwards, not in the post body.

    Is it the shadowing in the picture or do the shock towers and core support look white when the car is titanium silver?

    Lots of these cars are only hit with basecoat in underhood/trunk areas.
    My techno car has a dark grey engine bay/core support. Many of them do. Probably the case here, no metallic, no clear coat.
