Listing my E36 M3 for sale. My plan was to turn this into a track car, but I just do not have the time for it anymore. The car has not been driven in a long time and just sits in the garage. Over the past 5 years, I have put maybe 4k miles on it. I had searched a long time for one in this condition, and have been too stubborn to sell over the past few years for this reason alone.

Originally a California car, and has never seen rain or snow since I brought it to New York, 5 years ago. Car is completely rust-free, accident-free, bodywork-free, and has all matching VINs on each panel and bumper. Clean title, clean Carfax, ice-cold AC and hot heat. Fully functional OBC with no dead pixels. Legally passes state inspection every year with no issues.

There is currently just under 169k miles on the odometer, and around 80k miles on the engine. The clutch was replaced by the previous owner prior to me purchasing it as well, though I do not have paperwork on it (I would guess around 10k miles on the clutch). All front suspension bushings/ball joints/tie rods have around 5k miles on them, brake calipers recently rebuilt and stainless lines/Motul fluid flush (less than 100 miles ago). Thousands of dollars in dealership receipts including oil separator, cooling system overhaul (radiator, water pump, thermostat and housing, hoses, etc), power steering lines, window regulators, windshield cowl, window seals, final stage unit, exhaust hangers, all filters, all pulleys/idlers/belts, and lots of random hoses, lines, hardware, etc all replaced within the past couple thousand miles. Car was maintained to either be driven across the country or on the track completely worry-free. The only thing I have less time for than a track car is to be broken down in one. Though I should mention, this car has never ever seen a track or any type of racing or DE, I unfortunately never got that far with it.

When I was searching for an E36 M3, the odometer mileage was unimportant as long as the body and chassis were straight, free of rust, accidents, cracked strut towers, etc. There are too many low mileage cars out there with relatively junk chassis that are worthless to someone like me.

Asking $8000 with factory wheels and exhaust. $9000 as it sits.

VIN: WBSBG932XVEY73943

Cons:

-Paint has scratches and imperfections here and there, I'd give the exterior a 7/10.
-Sunroof delete panel will need to be sealed if you plan to drive in the rain or keep the car outdoors. I didn't, so it was never an issue for me.
