mzhu031 38 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Great colour, looks to be in good condition. Has anyone seen it? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m3/listing/2689713236 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Absolutely mint example, looks to be priced at the very high end of the E36 M3 market but you wont find one that looks this tidy probably. Its good news for some of the E36 M3 owners on here 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leichtbau 525 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 The rear spoiler was optional, and didn’t actually produce any downforce. $38k is bloody strong money. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now they give read the ad fully, I can't help but feel that if you are going to be the most expensive M3 on the market you have all the little stuff sorted. Maybe that's just me 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Pricey, but beautiful car. Estoril blue E36 M3 is one of my favourite BMWs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, dealer option which is a PITA because we have a disconnected, redundant third brake light moulded into the rear shelf and window. Some NZ new ones were factory specked with a rear spoiler and therefore don't have the rear screen light. Edited July 6, 2020 by M3AN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Very cool, but I couldn't live with that old airbag wheel. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Yes, steering wheel must go but that's an easy enough swap on the Evo. I seriously don't think they're worth this much. And I own one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrs 120 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) At that price, helps me justify what I've spent on my conversion... Of course, not a genuine M3 but $38K!!! Did a full repaint on mine in Feb/Mar - I was 50/50 between this colour and factory original. I really like this colour!! Ended up going with the factory original colour of Mauritius Blue but it was close... Edited July 6, 2020 by wrs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leichtbau 525 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 The four spoke wheel was only on the first 9 months of 3.2 production, unfortunate, but easy enough to change as mentioned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, to be honest, if I was in the market for a relatively rare car and had a bit of coin, I would over-pay for the colour I wanted.

coop 261 Report post Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) The rise in asking/sales prices for this is relative to other hero models from the same era (including E34&E39 M5s and E30 m325i). Look at the asking prices of any turbo charged Jap car, 993 and 996 Porsche or 1990s HSVs in good original condition. $40k or so for this M3 doesn’t seem unrealistic after all.

treone 648 Report post Posted July 7, 2020 ^^ Same! TBH I’ve been toying around with idea of selling mine for a while. Now I might just hang on to it, I don’t know. The thought of owning a car that is appreciating is pretty cool haha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
