1995 BMW M3 -- E36 -- Original Owner - BMWCCA Member

1995 was the only year for OBD1 On Board Diagnostics. To some, the 1995 E36 M3 is the one to have due to the ease in which the computer software can be modified. 1996 introduced OBD2. This M3 is stock and has not been modified in any way. As stated, this car was purchased new by my father in 1995. He was in his mid 50s then. He owned several other collectible performance cars at the time. This was his daily driver except for bad weather (used an SUV for bad weather). Car was garaged from new up until about a year ago. My father stopped using the car last summer and parked it outside so that his more frequently used cars were in the garage. At 76 years old, he no longer drives a manual transmission and has opted for more comfortable cars for daily use. I am selling for my father since he is not a computer user and does not do eBay. We are both BMWCCA members, having owned other M3s and M5s and X5s and 3 series models.

This car was never abused. It was been sitting and getting little use for the last year. The oil was recently changed, the car was professionally detailed, and the tires are fairly new and have plenty of tread life (Kumho tires). AC blows cold. Windows work as expected. Interior is in good condition. Gear shift knob is a little loose - knob needs tightening.

If I were to buy this car, I would check the brakes to see why the brake lining light is on. I would also check to see if it needs new shocks. Finally, I would have the metal trim around the windows resprayed due to the fading, cracking on that trim. Everything else is fine and those are the only concerns.

Car is also being listed in Roundel Magazine (BMW Car Club publication).

If you want a clean, no stories, one owner, OBD1 M3, with no accidents and no track days, this is your car.
