1995 BMW

M3 Coupe



What We Like

The E36 M3 market has recently ignited, and it's easy to see why: classic styling, quintessential naturally-aspirated inline-six power, a taught chassis, and a large enthusiast base with excellent community support. This particular 1995 example is claimed to be bone-stock, and represents the first year of the US-spec E36 M3. Factory BMW Motorsport lightweight alloy wheels and manually-adjustable "Vader-style" front bucket seats add to the appeal, along with an accident-free Carfax report. Unmodified E36 M3s are becoming difficult to find in recent years, and as a result this example is a compelling option for anyone seeking a survivor-grade car.

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

This 1995 BMW M3 is presented in its original colors of Light Red over a black leather interior. The provided Carfax report is accident-free and lists three owners from new, with each owner keeping the car between 6-10 years. Since purchasing the vehicle in April 2015, the current owner has reportedly added less than 2,000 miles. This M3 is claimed to be highly original and unmodified.

The critically acclaimed E36-chassis 3-series launched in the US in 1993, with the M3 following suit for the 1995 model year. A larger and more powerful 3.0L inline-six, along with chassis, suspension, and brake upgrades were all welcome additions. This example sends power through a 5-speed automatic transmission with Sport, Economy, and Manual modes. With its combination of robustness and reliability, a timeless exterior design, and an analog driving experience, it's easy to see why the E36 M3 has gained popularity in recent years.
