I’ve decided to sell my e36 m3 (cosmo/Black). I bought this car about 18 months ago with the intentions of doing HPDE, autocross, and eventually some time trial events, but various life events got in the way. It’s been a fantastic weekend driver, and probably the most fun car I’ve ever owned, but it’s time to pass it along to someone who can use it as intended. 

As it sits, it has a little over 137k miles. I have partial maintenance records from the previous owners, and I kept a log of everything I’ve done to it. 

The only major issues that I know of are:

-the shifter needs rebuilt, but I’m including a CAE ultra shifter with the sale! 

-exhaust rattle caused by a broken weld on the catback (I’m hoping to get this fixed soon)

-headliner is sagging (I bought a kit to flock it, but haven’t had the time)

-oil leak. Shows up after the car has been sitting for a few days 

Both sets of wheels come with the car, although the tires on the SSR’s are basically shot. I’ll also include the parts I haven’t gotten around to installing yet, including a set of Condor rear subframe bushings and RTAB pocket reinforcements, brake duct hose, high density roll bar padding, replacement speed bleeders and pistons for the Wilwood calipers, the original US spec tail lights, the back seat, and a CAE ultra shifter (it’s so awesome!) 

To my knowledge, here’s everything that’s been done to the car.

To be honest, I paid too much for this car when I bought it, so I’ll definitely be taking a loss, but I want to see it go to a good home. Asking $10,500 but I’m flexible on the price and willing to make a deal for fellow GRMers. If you guys have any questions, let me know!

This is the most recent picture of the car. I can take more upon request. 

Also, I’m stuck on 3rd shift for the immediate future, but I’ll try to reply to any messages as soon as I can

I’d also consider trades for a stock-ish e36 m3 sedan or e39 m5 (with cash on my end?)

Holy E36 M3! Sorry I had to say that...

Nice looking car! If I was in the market for a driver/track car this hits about all of the points. GLWS...

In reply to trigun7469 :

Honestly, I wish I could, but I’m looking for something a little more street friendly. Something that my fiancé and I can take longer road trips in. Thanks though!

Added more pictures to my CL ad in case anyone’s interested. Also heavily considering trades for a manual ZHP sedan, or a b5 S4?

Wish the timing was different. I have a 97 e36 M3 sedan with a blown head gasket that has been the "next" project for the past 6 months. 

Building a house really messes up plans.

Amazing deal at that price. If I hadn't dumped all my fun money in Lemons I'd be all over that.  Someone here should buy it and sell it to me later. wink

Absolutely love your car, and I want my next track car to be something just like this! Unfortunately I'm not ready to move up from my Solstice yet. Sad... GLWTS!
