that ignited its legendary predecessor and pioneer, and at the same
time found its own identity on new paths. �€"BMW M Magazine, August
2020 The BMW M Magazine article cited above called the E36 M3 a
wolf in sheep's clothing, and explained: Visually, the BMW M3 E36
showed its restrained side from the very beginning. Those who are
not familiar with the details of the top model of the E36 series
may not even be able to see the sheer power hidden under its
straight-line body. However, the aerodynamically elaborate M side
mirrors, which measurably reduce air resistance, are distinguishing
features. In addition to this, there were other aprons at the front
and rear, as well as the special 17-inch wheels. BMW M also lowered
the chassis of the high-performance 3-Series by a good three
centimeters. Among BMW enthusiasts, finding a well maintained E36
that hasn't been subjected to track use or too-aggressive driving
is something of a challenge. The 1995 metallic black M3 offered
here proves that, if one looks hard enough, excellent examples of
this fabled sports sedan can still be found. Southern-owned by four
enthusiasts who lavished care and comprehensive maintenance on this
E36, the car's condition befits a BMW classic. A sheaf of service
invoices (as well as a spare set of smoked taillight lenses)
included in the sale document consistent, quality maintenance.
Included in the gallery is a photo of the car's VIN decode listing
all original factory equipment including air conditioning, cruise
control, sunroof, cruise control, upgraded audio speakers, and M
leather steering wheel. Now at 149,215 miles, or on average, just
over 5,500 miles per year, it qualifies as a low-mileage example
over its 27-year life. Not a single accident mars the Carfax
report, which suggests all owners were adults who knew they were
behind the wheel of a future collectible BMW. A close look at the
car's remarkable condition tells the story. The Cosmosschwarz
Metallic (metallic black) exterior paint shows excellent gloss
across the entire car. The lower front splitter-type spoiler bears
no scars or damage from careless parking. There are only very minor
stone chips on the leading edges of the hood and front valance. The
car has not been repainted. Lighting lenses and cabin glass are
free of cracks or damage. The highly desirable factory 17-inch
Style 39 BMW Motorsport wheels (mounted with Michelin ZR-rated
performance tires) are free of curb rash or blemishes. The
trademark M3 rear badge retains its bright BMW Motorsport tri-color
stripes, and the left-front grille features the three M colors as
well. Inside, those same tri-color stripes tastefully adorn each of
the four silver (very light gray) leather seats as well as the
shift knob for the 5-speed transmission. The upholstery leather is
free of damage or excessive wear indications, even on the well
bolstered front seatbacks. The dash is un-cracked. The two-tone
door trim-charcoal with light gray inserts-is stylish even 27 years
later. The un-scared M3-branded door-sill trim is another
indication that the car's owners insisted that step-over meant just
that. Gray carpeting is protected with black M3-embroidered carpet
mats. The BMW M-Power-identified, 3-liter inline six-cylinder
engine is the centerpiece in a spotlessly clean and complete engine
bay. Motor Trend noted: For '95, the M3 coupe used a
