This 1997 BMW M3 is a silver-over-black coupe that was acquired by the seller in July 2004, and it now has 139k miles. Power comes from a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and factory equipment includes a sunroof, Vader front sport seats, and a factory CD stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer. Modifications consist of an M50-specification intake manifold, 18″ OZ Racing wheels, European-style headlights, H&R springs, Bilstein dampers, Eibach sway bars, and more as detailed below.
The bodywork is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (309) and features aerodynamic bumper covers and side skirts. Additional exterior equipment includes a power sunroof, fog lights, heated windshield washer nozzles, dual exhaust outlets, and European-style headlights as well as clear front corner lenses and side marker lights.
Silver-finished 18″ OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, which measure 225/40 up front and 245/35 out back and were mounted in June 2019. Bilstein struts and shocks are fitted along with H&R Sport springs, Eibach sway bars with polyurethane bushings, and a convertible-specification subframe brace. The removed factory 17″ wheels are included in the sale, and the seller notes that the rear pair have been refinished.
The cabin features Vader front sport seats and a rear bench upholstered in black Nappa leather, and amenities include automatic climate control, an onboard computer, cruise control, and a factory stereo paired with a trunk-mounted CD changer and Harman Kardon rear speakers, the latter of which were added during current ownership. The seller states the headliner is sagging, the rear parcel shelf is faded, the floor mats are worn, and that stereo and dashboard backlights are burnt out. Replacement backlight bulbs will accompany the sale, along with the removed factory rear speakers.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset fuel economy gauge, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 139k miles.
The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six is equipped with VANOS variable valve timing and has been modified with an M50 intake manifold, an aluminum thermostat manifold, and a de-baffled airbox. The included service summary shows the oil was most recently changed in October 2020 at 139k miles.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller notes corrosion on underside components and a rattle coming from the exhaust heat shield.
The removed factory set of 17″ wheels, spare parts, manufacturer’s literature, and a service summary and records will accompany the sale.
