This 1995 BMW E36 M3 Coupe is finished in Alpine White over Grey leather upholstery and is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission paired with its 3.0-liter S50 inline-six engine. It features a limited-slip differential, heated manually adjustable Vader sport seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, an electric sunroof, M3 Lightweight-style exterior graphics, and 17” Style 24 forged wheels. Sold new in Wisconsin and maintained by the original owner until 2023, this M3 is now being offered for auction out of Missouri with approximately 3,600 miles showing on the odometer.
The M3 can be distinguished from a standard E36 Coupe by its model-specific bumpers, rear diffuser, side skirts, and aerodynamic mirrors. This example is finished in Alpine White and features M3 Lightweight-style checkered flag decals, fog lights, an electric sunroof, and optional 17” Style 24 forged 5-spoke wheels dressed in original tires. The seller describes the car to be in excellent overall condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Grey leather interior includes optional heated manually adjustable Vader sport seats, a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel with tri-color stitching, M3-branded door sills, and an M sport shift knob. Other accessories include an M-branded gauge cluster, BMW-branded floor mats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, a central locking system, one-touch power front windows, and a BMW audio system with an AM/FM cassette stereo. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.
Rated at 240 HP and 225 lb.-ft of torque, the 3.0-liter S50B30US inline-six engine drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car is equipped with a BMW Motorsport-tuned sport suspension, variable ratio power steering, and four-wheel ventilated sic brakes with ABS. The seller states service records are available dating back to the original owner’s purchase including the most recent maintenance performed in August 2023.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, the original window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, sales literature, service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “The car has never been waxed or buffed, only hand washed since new, never seen rain, a literal time capsule, and even has the cosmoline on the undercarriage.”

@Jordychase The car has NEVER had any paintwork what so ever, it is a fresh as the day it arrived to the dealer as a brand new car! As I noted earlier in the listing, the car, from new, has only been hand washed, never waxed or had a buffer on it, it has been babied its whole life.

@daytona95 Thank you for commenting and for your bid, please allow me to answer your questions. The first owner of the car was an avid car collector with several cars displayed in his climate controlled "man cave", he would regularly start his cars, bring them to temp, drive them a few miles and them put them away, almost all the miles on the car are from him doing the drives to keep everything properly running. The next owner is one of my oldest clients and prior to purchasing the car in 2023 it was completely service and inspected by his local BMW dealership, once he got the car he stored it in a car capsule bubble (I will add a couple pics to the listing) to keep moisture and dust out, he would routinely take it out every couple weeks, drive a few miles to keep it in proper operating condition, there are no leaks, no "seepage" or issues with the car, it runs and drives perfect. That said, I have no trouble with you have a PPI performed at the local BMW dealership should you win the auction, there is absolutely nothing to hide with this car. As for the registration being in CT, my client that owned the car traded it to me for another car and it is sitting in my showroom in Springfield, MO.
The reality is that with any low mileage car, you should expect that once you start driving it, everything mentioned will need to be addressed. Regardless, we are at least 30k off even in this market. Fun one to watch! Haven’t seen vaders like that since 1999, though technically based on build date these could be the early ones based off regular frames. Haven’t gone that far into the research yet.
Hi! Also, any valve cover leaks? Original tires? Thank you.
This car obviously it hasn't seen many miles on average per year. As a result, any leakage in the front or rear main seals?.. Any cracked/dried out ball joints? What are the condition of the foam bump stops in the struts and shocks? Based on the service records except the very early warranty claims, am I reading this correctly that it has only had oil changes within the last 25-27 years? The last Carfax entry shows Connecticut registration, but the auction location shows Springfield, MO. Can you confirm car location as well? Beautiful vehicle.
