This is a completely rust free, California-garaged example that is carefully built and beautifully preserved. All VIN tags are visible where the exterior paint is in fantastic surviving original finish (minus the aforementioned OE E36 M3 cosmetic components) while showing no significant imperfections or blemishes. The interior is well-preserved with supple leather, clean carpets and no visible overtly worn areas. Similarly to all European E36 M3, it retains OBDI management with full functionality, perfect drivability, and is smog-legal. It is turn-key needing nothing for many miles to come — mechanically or cosmetically. This E36 is built with pure quality that solidified their slot atop BMW’s desirability charts and began their racing and consumer success for the following decade.
