Restored 1998 BMW M3 5MT Black/Modena. Southern CT

[BDZM3]

Hey All,

Looking to sell my clean, sorted M3 sedan. Picked it up on the forum last year and drove it back from Memphis TN to Stamford CT with no issues at all. Car is part of my collection, garage kept and has never been used to commute. I picked it up with 165k miles and there's only 167.5k on it now. Only selling because wife said a car had to go and I just picked up an M5. The previous owner dumped a ton of money replacing everything you can think of (new interior, suspension, steering system, cooling system, brakes, lighting, audio, rubber parts/seals/gaskets/filters, bearings, weld in reinforcements, the list goes on). Full documentation from new and can provide docs (mod/repair list, clean carfax). The only cons I'm aware of is a slight squeel from power steering belt when turning while parked and idle and a few stone chips commensurate with mileage.

Thanks. She's really a blast to drive and pulls strong. Here's a quick vid driving through the back roads:

Guys, I'm getting a lot of interest in email and some PM's. I'm trying to respond as quickly as possible. I'll try to take a cold start video and walk around today as well as host the pics somewhere. Please only reach out if you're serious and have the funds ready.

When and where will you post detailed pics. I am looking for an m3 and am deciding between an e46 and e36. This seems to be a nice example of an e36. But need more pictures.

Still available.

[BDZM3]

Lowered price. Let's get this sold!

[BDZM3]

Mods, decided to go another route with selling the car. Please delete the post. Thanks.

[AutoXSS]

Haha! I was just looking at this post and refreshed

[BDZM3]

Surprised I didn't get more traction and wanted it to go to another enthusiast since us last 3 owners have been, but I guess it's bad timing with what's going on. I'm going to replace the belts and pulleys and try selling it on the typical platforms.

[bmwahba46]

I’d buy it if I had the room. I’d say hang on. That’s a great price

Thanks. Funny thing is, I really don't want to sell it but I have to because I have no room and I'm done hearing my wife complain about manuevering her car around it. It's a blast to drive and I'm sure the next owner will enjoy it.

Beautiful car, great color combo, totally sorted, shocked its still around.

[BDZM3]

Since the thread is still up, $10,500 to get it done ASAP.

Sale pending
