    New (to me) 1999 BMW M3

    After a long hiatus, I recently decided to pull the trigger on an E36 M3. I used to have an Alpine white on Dove 1996 328is when I was younger but knew I'd always want an M3. Fast forward many years and a few cars later and I finally managed to find a clean example.

    This is my 1999 BMW M3 - Fern Green on Tan Leather vaders. The car is completely stock and undergoing a few repairs to get her back to her original glory.

    Some mods i'll be looking to perform over the next couple of years:
    - New headlights - probably ZKW's
    - Some LTWs if I can find - i like the DSII's but LTW's completely change the look of an E36 in my opinion
    - New suspension setup (Bilstein PSS9)

    Looks great, I'm always curious what my car would look like with a spoiler. I have a 99 Fern on Magma coupe.

    Congratulations!

    I used to feel the same way. Never really gave green E36's much attention. The moment I saw this car though, I had to have it.

    Fern Green definitely looks different than Boston Green though.

    I feel the same way about Technoviolet and Dakar Yellow II!

    One of the last remaining members of the E36 M3 original owners club...a dying breed indeed.

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments.

    I'm mostly enjoying the car in its stock form this summer. Next year it's getting some TCK Coilovers, Euro headlights and some other goodies along the way.
