Recap –
This is a turn-key E36 M3 both mechanically and cosmetically. While there is some general wear due to age/use, there are no notable large imperfections – the seats have no rips, tears, nor etching in the leather, the dashboard leather and glovebox are both tight and do not sag, A and C pillars are new with a recently recovered alcantara headliner, and all interior functions work as intended thanks to new door lock actuators and window regulators. The exterior paint has maintained excellent depth and has zero fading nor oxidation, where the windshield cowl, front and rear window trim, and door handle gaskets have recently been replaced. There is very mild road rash throughout the front end and the rear bumper has been resprayed to remedy cosmetic imperfections surfacing after a small 2010 mishap. The suspension, engine, drivetrain, and remainder of mechanical components are in sound working order with all of the go-to maintenance, and much more, complete. No leaks, no overheating, other oddities nor mechanical needs. It is a copacetic M3 built in the very last sedan production month that has been kept to a high standard with moderately low miles and thorough maintenance intended for years of enjoyment or investment.
