Description

Here’s my 1996 BMW E36 M3 Evolution Convertible in Boston Green with matching hard-top. showing just 79, 000 miles.

Selling to make room for other purchase. By far the most affordable E36 M3 available.

Only 3 previous owners with a fair amount of history. The car drives exactly as it should and feels tight and well looked after. VANOS rebuild appears to have been done at some point — it pulls cleanly through the rev range with no marble noise.

Mechanically it’s spot on. Starts, idles and drives very well, strong through all gears and a great example of how these should feel.

Cosmetically it’s very presentable for the age. The arches are solid with a few minor patches of surface rust that would require a sand and paint. There are a few small dings and age-related marks if you look closely, and the wheels would benefit from a refurb but are acceptable. The driver’s seat bolster has some wear and could do with repair and door cards are marked, but the interior is otherwise tidy. I believe the roof requires a reset.

Very useable completely stock M3 that you can enjoy straight away and improve over time. These are getting harder to find with sensible mileage.

Genuine enquiries welcome, I will upload further photos. Feel free to request images. Unfortunately some of the history was lost by the wife of the original owner after he passed away. See photos for further history.
