Well she's no RX8 like I had planned...but you should like her too :D:




ummmm.... there is nothing here.....

ooooooooooooo ninja edit!!!!!!!!!

Looks pretty good! Sexy as hell besides the automatic thing!

nice ride

i like....

yeah I'd rather have a manual....but I wasnt gonna pass this up.....no way in hell for $7K

That's a hell of a deal! what year is that? mileage?

nice M3! Good luck with it!

1998 98K

Heres the details:

Cosmos Black 4-door sedan with black and grey leather interior, 5-speed automatic with Sport Mode and a few tasteful modifications that make this already fast car even faster. The Good: * Stromung cat-back exhaust and custom cold-air intake. These add about 15 horses and sound awesome. * Genuine-BMW Euro-style clear light set. * Dark black tinting on everything but the front window. * 18-inch BMW rims on all 4 wheels with new (less than 6 months old) Sumitomo HTR Z III high-performance tires. * Complete dealer service 6 months ago. * New A/C condenser with fresh coolant pumps out arctic air. * New camshaft position sensor. * New rear trailing arm bushings (this is the most common problem with E36 M3s and it has already been taken care of, so you will not have to worry about it). * Stock stereo with 12 CD changer. * Heated front seats. * Automatic climate control system. The Bad: * This car is fast. Really, really fast. This may lead to problems with certain law enforcement agencies. The Ugly: * Needs some minor touch-up paint work. If it does not sell fast, I ll probably spend the $200 to do have it done myself and raise the sale price by $500. * Wear on both the bolsters of both front seats and a small tear on the passenger seat - a common problem for M3s of this era that can be repaired with a leather kit. There are plenty of DIY guides online. I just don t have the time to do it myself. * A little bit of road rash on the rims. I am told it can be buffed out. Don t be fooled by cheap imitations! This is not a 3-series tarted up to look like an M3. This is not a rebuilt salvage. This is a low-mileage M3 with clean title ready for immediate sale. It has never been in an accident.

yup I def like it

looking nice! kind of old though?

nice find

Old? nah...she's just gettin warmed up :wiggle:

Nice. Hope it doesn't give you too many fix-its.

e36 ftw. my buddy has a '99 and it's one of the few cars i would take over the 8. it strikes the perfect balance (for me, at least) between performance and comfort. my brother has an e46 and the little guy is bit more...something. the e36 fits like a worn leather glove.

shame you weren't able to grab a manual. nice looking car though!

Yeah...a manual would've been too good to be true! It does have the sport/econo/manual mode selection so you can 'shift'. Still not a manual but I'm not gonna complain! I didnt think I'd ever have one of these...much less before I was 25 w00t!

the rx8 is roughly equivalent to an e46 m3.

so you downgraded. but for $7k, thats an amazing deal. congrats. i work a lot on e30s. the m3 is only e36 i'd drive.

i have no idea how you could compare an rx8 to an e46 m3.

don't get me wrong, rx8's are awesome, but really?

Nice I had one in 2003 It was a 99 m3 It cost me soo much money I had to sell it. the first week I had it the pcm went out a new one was about 2500 the tail lights are a big issue. The only thing that was really good about the car was the engine. Also had the water pump go out about 500. But I did love that car almost as good as a rx8 so much fun to drive. I would love to get a 99 and rebuilt it and put a e46 motor.

i work a lot on e30s.
Operative phrase there. How much ($$ amount) are we talking to maintain your average E30 vs E36 vs E46?

As a bit of advice from a guy that's worked on his fair share of E36 M3s.

Make sure to get your cooling system in check. The stock water pump should be replaced with a high performance variant with metal housing - a common failure point that leads to destruction of the motor.

Thanks for the heads up....you have any recommendations?

It never fails to amaze me how someone will spend thousands on a car with a transmission they don't want. It's an m3, not a Bently, so there are tons of them around to look for with a setup that is better. 7 grand might be a good deal, but sweet jesus, that's still a hell of a lot of money...

Why would you even consider it?

Nice ride!

its the last m3 sedan till the new gen great choice great car ...

RG....I may have come off the wrong way about the transmission....I never said I didn't WANT the automatic, just that I normally prefer the manual. There is just no way I could pass this car up.

like rodjonathan said...the last of that type.

I love it and I will drive it till the wheels fall off!

Thanks everyone else for the positive comments!

congrats bro. :)

Nice. Four door E36 m3 = rare, even with an AT
