This 1995 BMW M3 was acquired by the seller ten years ago and is finished in Dakar Yellow over a black leather interior. Power is from a 3.0L inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and modifications are said to include 18″ VMR VB3 wheels, Koni shocks, H&R lowering springs, RK-Tunes ECU software, 24 lb/hr fuel injectors, an aftermarket stereo, and more. A replacement clutch, slave cylinder, and rear main seal were installed in 2017, and additional work performed over the last decade included rebuilding the VANOS system and replacing the timing chain guides, head gasket, and steering rack. Now showing 191k miles, this E36 M3 is offered with service records, spare parts, factory books and manuals, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.

The car reportedly received a two-stage repaint in its factory shade of Dakar Yellow under previous ownership, and clear coat has since been re-applied to the hood and roof due to peeling. The seller notes that the rear bumper was replaced and the spare tire well was repaired following a rear-end collision in 2010, and the rear collision shocks were also replaced following a second incident. Noted finish flaws include paint blisters on the rear bumper cover, rust under the trunk seal, and touch-up paint on the passenger-side front fender from previous dent removal.

Modifications include black kidney grilles, an LTW-style front splitter, aftermarket headlights with Euro-style running lights, and ducts in place of the factory fog lights. CSL-style 18×8.5″ VMR VB3 wheels are mounted on 12.5mm spacers in the front and 5mm spacers in the rear. Continental ExtremeContact DW tires measure 245/35 and show 2013 date codes. Stoptech brake pads and stainless steel lines have been added, and the suspension features the following components:

Koni Yellow adjustable shocks

H&R sport springs

Later-model front and solid rear top hats with reinforcement plates

Stacked 10mm and 15mm rear spring pads

Front “lollipop” polyurethane lower control arm bushings

Shimmed polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings

The cabin features black leather upholstery with synthetic microfiber added to the lower dash, headliner, and pillars. Power-adjustable E46 M3 seats have additionally been added, along with a European-market M3 steering wheel, aluminum pedal covers, an auxiliary LeatherZ three-gauge pod, and a Z3 short shift kit. The factory stereo has been replaced with a Kenwood head unit linked with Bavsound speakers and a Harman Kardon amplifier.

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and a digital odometer that shows just under 191k miles, approximately 50k of which were added by the seller over the past decade. The oil light intermittently flickers when idling, and one line of pixels is missing from the on-board computer display screen. The seller also states that the car cannot be locked from the driver’s door and the interior map lights are inoperable.

The 3.0L S50 inline-six is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a 3.15:1 limited-slip rear differential. Modifications are said include RK-Tunes ECU software, 24 lb/hr fuel injectors, a 3.5″ cold-air intake, and an electric fan with manual override. The seller states the cylinder head was machined and a new head gasket and timing chain guides were fitted in 2015. An E34 M5 clutch disc was installed in 2017, along with a single-mass flywheel and a replacement slave cylinder, starter, and rear main seal.

Long tube headers feed a B&B TriFlow exhaust with a 328i mid-pipe. The fuel filter, transmission oil, and differential oil were changed in April 2018, and a new battery was fitted in February 2019. The windshield washer reservoir has been removed, and other noted issues include an oil leak and a malfunctioning coolant level sensor.

The January 2020 Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage and shows registration in Tennessee, Florida, and Virginia. The car was documented in a Bimmerfest and Madison Motorsports build thread, and a driving video is provided below along with a video featuring the car on Regular Car Reviews.
