nice list! great variety

The m3 was obviously my favorite so i've got myself one again.. but the m5 I still miss,  knowing how to drive the SMG3 you actually start to enjoy it. (Knowing it's basically a manual with a pump) treat it like a manual lift of gas on gear changes etc you do become one with the car even though it's an "auto"... It say the V8 m3 manual would be a keeper also.

That's a good looking car, nice work!

😲 That's a lot of money to spend without knowing if it was a genuine M3 or a fettled 328! But of course it's RHD so not a US model.

I couldn't sell mine in 2008 for $17k... sort-of glad now...

I knew it was an m3 (not a 328i 🙂 I just don't know a lot about the E36 M3 models other than the Euro evo 3.2 and the USA 3.0L "m3" .. but obviously there are quite a few options.

I’m the current owner of your old one, for the last 8-9 years now.  Glen tipped me off to that, and your purchase of this. Good score! 

Yeah time flys... Happy to have one back again... How many kms on it now? ... Shall we swap? 

🙂hi I bought it.. It's immaculate! / Very original. From Japan into NZ in 1999, first owner 18 years. and all paperwork, Paint is perfect, etc, drives fantastic... I don't know a lot about the different models but It must be the euro spec / not the USA 3.0L??? 😕 because it has the oil temp gauge not the fuel economy gauge / speedo to 280 not 260 and throttle bodies for every cylinder rather than just one throttle body.. I had a yellow E36 M3 Evo 3.2 about 7 years ago (CEY950) sold it for $14k 😞 ... This one feels the same, good memories coming back,  just need the seats to be reconditioned a wee bit and a few wee touch ups on the passenger door card, the leather is lifting. Otherwise it's like new!!! 🙂
