1998 BMW M3 Coupe

Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black Nappa leather upholstery, this 1998 BMW E36 M3 Coupe is a Japanese-market example powered by a 3.2-liter S50B32 inline-six engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Unlike its North American counterpart, the Japanese-market E36 M3 was equipped with the higher-output European powerplant, featuring individual throttle bodies, double VANOS variable valve timing, and a factory rating of 316 HP. Factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, an M Sport steering wheel, electrically adjustable and heated Vader front seats, automatic climate control, a power-operated sunroof, and a HiFi sound system. This M3 was imported to the United States in September 2024 and is now being offered for auction in Virginia with approximately 56k kilometers (~35k miles) showing on the odometer.

The Arctic Silver Metallic exterior features the E36 M3's distinctive aerodynamic bodywork, including a sculpted front bumper with air intakes, side skirts, M3-specific side mirrors, a trunk-mounted spoiler, and a revised rear bumper with a diffuser-style lower section. Additional features include fog lights, a power-operated sunroof, dual exhaust tips, and factory 17” BMW Style 22 M Double Spoke alloy wheels mounted with staggered Bridgestone tires measuring 225/45R17 at the front and 245/40R17 at the rear. The seller reports that the exterior is in excellent condition without noticeable scratches or dents. Paint meter readings indicate that the hood has been refinished, with the seller describing the quality of the paintwork as excellent. The Bridgestone tires reportedly retain approximately 75% of their tread and carry 2012 production date codes.
