This 1998 BMW M3 sedan was purchased in 1999 by the owner, with whom it has subsequently traveled 109k of its 121k miles shown. Finished in Bright Red over Light Gray Nappa leather, the car is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and is further equipped with a limited-slip differential, a sunroof, fog lights, 17″ Style 39 wheels, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer. Service since 2022 has included refreshing the coolant system, servicing the brakes, and replacing the drive belts and tires. This E36 M3 sedan is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner at no reserve with the owner’s manuals, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in Bright Red (314), and the seller states the driver’s fender was repainted in 2003. Exterior features include fog lights, a sunroof, dual exhaust outlets, and factory aerodynamic bumpers, side sills, and mirrors. Blemishes around the body and rust bubbles on the driver’s rocker panel are presented in the video gallery below.
Staggered-width 17″ Style 39 wheels were wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires in September 2022. The car is equipped with a sport-tuned suspension and traction control as well as four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and the front and rear pads and rotors were replaced in September 2022. The rear shocks are leaking per a September 2025 invoice, and the front sway bar links are said to be noisy over bumps. Curb rash is visible on the wheels.
The cabin features power-adjustable sport seats upholstered in Light Gray Nappa leather along with matching door panels and carpets. Amenities include cruise control, an onboard computer, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, a trunk-mounted CD changer, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 121k miles, approximately 109k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. Service has included replacing the alternator in July 2018, the spark plugs and valve cover gasket in May 2019, the thermostat and drive belts in 2022, and the radiator in April 2024. An oil change was performed in September 2025, and an oil leak was noted at that time.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
