Nice car, me dad had an E36 M3 4 door for 80k miles from new, nothing other the alarm sensors and rear trailing arm bushes (a common fault) went wrong on it.

very nice car man, congrats on it.

guys, don't be so quick to diss the 4 doors, ive read a magazine article in which they compared the 2- and 4-door E36 M3 and, believe it or not, the 4-door handled better (not that the coupe handles bad, LOL) due to increased stiffness in the body/chassis i believe.

no, i think he wanted the 5-spokes that were also featured on the E36 M3

my best friend has a '98 m3 coupe, silver with the 5 spokes

i really prefer those wheels over the others

Thanks Zfrk. But I think I am gonna keep it stock. I'll be changing the headlights to the Ellipsoid ones. The US ones don't illuminate that well.

Congrats on your new car! M Power in a more discrete package, I like it.

Sounds like the previous owner has taken good care of the car. 99k from new, with full service history sounds very good to me.

ae86 you're one lucky guy, the car looks great. I also had never seen a (recent) 4 door M3, pretty interesting.

Okay, here is the interior. . . as you could see it does show it's age for a 7 year old car. . . but over all it is pretty good

wow, that car has really held up! i love that interior, and that wheel is a bit odd (the steering wheel). oh, and i agree with supercarfreak about the striping on the seats. they definately need to introduce them back on the new m3, or atleast as an option.
