Motorsport GmbH. BMW?s E36-gernation M3 for 1992-99 was offered in
Coupe and Sedan body styles for 1997, supplemented by a
range-topping Cabriolet in 1998, with race-derived engineering and

transmission with direct 5th gear. Mileage is 74,138 at the time of

also confirms that it has been under the care of just two prior
owners from new, including its first 12 years and 5 months with the
original owner. In addition to the many standard mechanical,
exterior, interior and safety features, this high-quality M3 was
optioned with heated front seats ($500), cruise control ($475),
forged alloy wheels ($1,450), and a rear wing ($650). Last but not
least, BMW?s sophisticated on-board computer ($500) includes a
multifunction electronic display providing important data including
average fuel economy, average speed, distance to destination,
estimated time of arrival, range on remaining fuel, plus a
programmable speed limit and stopwatch. Sport seats provide
supportive comfort while enjoying this M3's wide performance
envelope. In addition to a new battery and floor mats, this
