Vehicle Description
With exceptionally low mileage, and a well-respected presentation
inside and out, aided by the optional Luxury Package, this 1997 BMW
M3 E36 is exactly what you want when going shopping for a new
classic. So check out the nimble sports coupe you've always desired
in a presentation that's approaching a time capsule kind of
appearance.
This is the ultimate M3 for many of us. The E36 generation was a
design that began adding more aggression peeking out from beneath
an everyday commuter body. So it's a mix of the stealthy 3-Series
design but with a bodykit and bumpers that gave it a much more
muscular stance. Of course, the factory-correct Hellrot bright red
draws in plenty of attention all on its own. As people get closer,
they'll start to nice how well the vibrant color looks. It's a
combination of German build quality and well-respected life
averaging under 1,300 miles annually. This really does have a level
of preservation we don't see too often on these E36 M3s. Everything
looks original and preserved, right down to the rear spoiler and
iconic 17-inch alloys.
The black leather interior is a great look against the red
exterior. And just like the outside, this is quite well preserved.
As a true BMW, it's engineered for the perfect balance of luxury
and driver-focused engineering. This M3 comes loaded with features
like power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and
a full AM/FM/cassette premium audio system with CD changer. You'll
love opening up the power sunroof any time of the year thanks to
automatic climate control keeping the cabin the right temperature.
All this modern luxury also means modern safety features such as
dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes. But even with all these
luxuries, you'll be reminded this is a true driver's car the moment
you grab the sports steering wheel and let your hand fall perfectly
onto the stick shift. The leather seats are extremely comfortable
because BMW spends a lot of time in the engineering department.
They are heated and power adjust to your ideal driving position.
That way they ensure you can strike the perfect balance of keeping
you planted during hard cornering, while also being comfortable
enough to always take the long way home.
This is a later E36, and that means it received the upgraded
3.2-liter motor. This is original engine to the car, and the engine
bay looks almost brand new, so you can understand why this is such
a great collectable. But don't stick this one into a museum just
yet. This generation was known for being one of the most engaging
driver cars. You take full control of the livery motor with the
five-speed manual transmission, and it loves to sing all the way
past 7,000 RPM. BMW is one of the best companies at engineering a
chassis, and so the fully independent suspension of the M3 has been
a mainstay at the top of the enthusiast magazine's wish lists. Add
this to four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, and now you know why an M3 will always get respect on
the road.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's
manual packet, and warranty card. So this is a collector-level car
that also comes with the right paperwork. So if you've been looking
for a top-quality dream car, don't let this M3 slip away. Call
now!
