Recap –
No sunroof, no electric seats, no folding rear seats. This is the lightest and most structurally rigid E36 M3 built being a non-sunroof equipped four-door with fixed rear seats. Cosmetically, it was resprayed in its factory-applied Techno Violet Metallic and converted the roof during the summer of 2021 when the door handle gaskets, window trim, and windshield cowl were replaced concurrently. The respray wasn’t a result of an accident. All VIN tags are intact except for the front bumper, which was replaced due to a 2010 mishap. The slicktop headliner, A & C pillars have all been recently recovered in alcantara and are perfect throughout. The Koenig K5000 seats are new-old-stock, have full adjustability, and are mounted to OEM BMW sliders and mounts for full functionality, comfort, and performance. All OBD pixels illuminate, interior functions work as intended, however the air conditioning is inoperable. This has been a California owned and garaged M3 since new with no rust nor corrosion. This is not a concourse winning M3 – it’s best suited to be a street-able track car or weekend weapon that provides enhanced drivability with minimal compromise, all while wrapped in a desirable factory configuration.
