This mint condition, extremely low miles, e36 M3 is owned by my grandmother. The car was purchased brand new by my grandfather from the BMW dealership in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke less than a year after purchasing, which prevented him from driving his dream car. The car has spent it's entire life in Arizona, where it was driven very sparingly by my grandmother over the last 17 years. The car has been very well taken care of, never modified (not even window tint) and never abused. The owner literally drove it like a grandma.

The exterior of the car is in excellent condition with the exception of one small dent in the roof panel. In some photos you may notice that the front BMW badge has had the paint worn off, but I have gone ahead and already replaced it with a new one. Overall exterior condition 9/10

The interior of the car is fantastic. It is amazing how little seat wear occurs when only driven by a 90lb, 88 year old woman. The only worn areas are the steering wheel and shift ****. Apparently, grandma still has a pretty fierce grip. Overall interior condition 9/10

Mechanically the car runs and drives great. The only exception is that I can hear a slight buzz/whine noise when depressing the clutch pedal, which tells me that the throwout bearing is worn out. This is a pretty common issue with these cars and is only noticeable with the windows up and the radio off. Overall mechanical condition 8.5/10

Overall, the car is immaculate and with very little effort, you could put this car into showroom condition. My grandmother has decided to sell the car because she rarely drives it anymore and spends more time worrying about it than anything else. I have agreed to help her sell it as she knows little about how to sell a car on the internet. The car is currently in my possession and you can contact me with any questions. Clean title. No trades. Asking $16K, price is firm for now.

Damn, dude. Your grandparents had taste! Good seller here! I wouldn't hesitate if you're a serious buyer.

 

what a ridiculously good deal. you'd pay twice as much if EAG was selling this.

Great car, great deal. Even with the rest of my garage, still love my E36 M3

 

I had one years ago and loved it, sold it and bought a E46 M3, in a lot of ways I like the E36 version better. This one will have a good home.

Agree 1000%. I had an E46 M3 and far prefer the E36. Glad this clean example is going to a true enthusiast. Congrats.

 

My 19 year old son want's a E36 M3 in the worst way, I gotta figure out a way to hide this from him for a few years, will make a nice graduation present for him. I hope he doesn't find this thread

I have a pristine 4 spoke m3 steering wheel sitting in my basement from my '97 coupe. If anybody wants it (sounds like a good update for this car), I'll gladly ship it out for $50. Brings back memories of my silver/black coupe.

 

Wow! Well bought pu911.
Lot of fun to drive car for the $.
I agree the e36 is more fun to drive than the e46. Not as much power, but that chassis is so beautifully balanced. I am drooling at the pics, as you have bought a new one for Toyota money.

 

I'd buy it just to meet the 88 YO woman who has been driving it for 17 years, that alone is worth the price of admission. Funny story - this car was posted for sale as a feeler a couple of years ago- I tried to buy it then but owner decided to keep it. I logged onto 6speed for first time yesterday and there it was. I called Grant and said I'll take it-I don't think he believed me at first but I explained the connection.
