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.

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.

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.
