Alpine White over Black 1997 BMW M3 sedan. In short, I have babied this car for the several years I have owned it. It has been taken care of and been overly pampered. It lives in a garage, but it is driven. It does have 215k miles on the clock, but please read the list of rework below. It has been gone throughvery completely. It is a 4 door sedan. Rare for en e36; BMW only produced them in 1997 and 1998. Yes, it is an automaticbutit has a 3.91LSD diff not the stock 3.38LSD. This is quicker off the line than a stock diff 5 speedfeel free to do the math if you'd like. Sure top end is limited, but seriouslywho does 150? I want this car to go to an enthusiast who will treat it right. I already have my other car. This car came from a Dr in SFO around 2005-ish and I know who the local owners have been. I do not know the Dr who was the original owner. I'm just going to provide a list of the mods the car has to keep it easy:

Suspension
- AST 4100 Coilover Suspension

Body

- No hail damage or anything funky
- Rear (body taped on) Lip Spoiler
- Fog Light Delete (wiring is still there if you must)
- HID 8000k with glass Depo Lenses
- LED License Lights to match hue of HIDs in Front
- I would sand and repaint the front bumper cover if I wasn't going to really drive the car

Interior
- Factory Black Leather
- As a '97, it does not have the ugly door panel airbags (plus in my book)
- It also does not have the '98MY rear headrests (another plus being a driver's car)
- Newer 3 Series Rearview Mirror with Security Beacon (wired and works)
- Lower driver bottom seat side bolster could stand to be recovered
- Headliner needs to be done (I was kicking Alcantara aroundjust didn't do it)
- Steering wheel is worn (A guy in Germany 'tanik' on eBay sells redone wheels for around $300, your option)
- The light in the clock portion of the OBC looks to have gone out. At an angle, you can see it works. This is only on the little clock part, the main OBC light is perfect.
- Floor mats, are fairly new and in good shape
- Alpine CD Head Unit with XM and iPhone cable in the console
- Hardwired for V1 Detector up by the Mirror
- CD Changer in Trunk (sounds like it works, actually never triedI have an iPhone)
- Trunk, clean and it does hold things

INCLUDED With the Sale

- Extra Valve Cover Gasket
- The Bentley Manual (the thick book)
- Misc bits of crap I have collected (clear lenses, spare parts, etc.)

What else? Hell it has even more stuffthis is long enough.

Here is video of the car idling: <a href=" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); FONT-FAMILY: 'Bitstream Vera Serif', 'Times New Roman', serif; COLOR: rgb(34,34,34)">>Copy and paste the link to the left for video</a>
Video shows that there are no check engine lights or ECU codes being thrown. It is from a non-smoking household. The airbag light is on. Had it diagnosed at Autobahn BMW and was told there is some switch under the driver's seat causing this. Had considered switching to a euro wheel, so didn't have them fix it. As for why I'm sellingI have a commuter car, a truck, and a vintage race car. It was this or the vintage race car and the old Datsun won. Just really don't need 4 cars and it would be silly to keep funding that many.

If you are SERIOUS and you know what you are looking at, please contact me. It is rare and should be treated as such, as I did. These are going up in value like the e30 M3's have. Ask questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
