For a Tarheeler, I can likely arrange for delivery to the RDU area. I know I'll be coming down to NC around Thanksgiving, and again the weekend of 12/13 for my family Christmas.

Album with detailed pics of the car: http://www.fototime.com/inv/14A5364AF067A3A


I'm selling my e36 M3/4/5 due to a pending cross-country move to CA. I purchased the car off of BimmerForums in 2013 as a super-clean, obsessively maintained example of the breed. I had wanted an e36 M3 for 15 years, and this was easily the nicest car available in the DC area when I started shopping. I sell the car reluctantly, as I need to simplify before the move. Due to the move, I can't take any trades and I do not wish to part out anything on the car.

Interior
- Dove/Mulberry interior
- Manual "luxury" seats
- New (2013) OEM floor mats
- Black headliner replaced several years ago by previous owner
- Alpine head unit with USB connection and bluetooth hands free. No CD player
- Uninstalled JVC head unit with USB and CD player
- Custom fit "HeatSheld" window shade for windshield
- OEM 10-disk changer in trunk, not connected
- Cold A/C, no leaks
- Perfect OBC - no dead pixels
- Everything works (Cruise, heated seats, HVAC, all OBC functions, all interior lights, power locks, power windows, sunroof)
- Driver's side rear door panel needs TLC (pictures upon request)
- Keyless entry system (alarm siren removed)

Exterior
- Titanium silver
- Polished/forged 7.5/8.5 LTW wheels with Michelin Pilot A/S
- Full-sized spare on 7.5 DS2 wheel
- Euro Clear Corners, side markers, and tail lamps
- Original amber US corners and tail lamps in box
- New Bosch-knockoff halogen headlamp housings with glass lenses
- Front foglamps removed (lenses cracked, would not pass inspection). All wiring is still intact and lamps worked when removed.
- Never driven in salt or snow by current and previous owner
- Small parking lot scuff on driver's side of front fascia (see album)
- Small parking lot scuff on right rear of bumper (see album)
- Numerous exterior trim pieces replaced over the years
- Some uninstalled new exterior and interior trim pieces will be included
- Glass ZKW headlamp housings adapted for HIDs, HID bulbs and HID balasts (uninstalled, as they don't pass MD inspection, $150 extra)

Engine and Driveline
- Dinan upgraded ECU
- Dinan exhaust
- Entire cooling system replaced with OE parts
- Transmission and Diff filled with synthetic fluids
- New Clutch and new OE dual-mass flywheel
- Upgraded transmission mounts
- New OE motor mounts
- Akebono Euro brake pads (decent bite, very low dust)
- Uninstalled OE parts to rebuild shifter

Suspension
- UUC Anti Sway bars (F&R)
- Bilstein struts/shocks
- Rear shock mount reinforcements
- New front control arms

Receipts and Maintenance records
I have a pile of receipts and maintenance records from me and the previous 2 owners. Everything is scanned in. I can send upon request. There are more maintenance details that I haven't included in this ad, so if you have a
question, let me know.

If you want a PPI, there are numerous good BMW shops in my area. I generally use S2Dynamics in Rockville or Dan Martin Auto in Gaithersburg. Those are the most convenient.

Sold...and oddly enough to a guy in Raleigh. He took the train up last night and drove the car home. You'll see it around Cars and Coffee.
