1995 BMW M3

I’ve been seeing a pristine white E36 M3 coupe on perfect Style 22s, looking like a wonderful mix of stock daily driver that gets pampered in the garage every night. Even though history has shown it to be the most banal M3, there are still so many things right about this car. It’s sized right. The simple but aggressive lines perfectly support the car’s ethos. Just as I imagine that white example is cared for, the E36 M3 is the perfect car to dote upon, drive every day, and enjoy the hell out of.

This one-owner silver 1995 coupe is not quite the same stock-queen as the local white one, but it’s has just 90k miles and a host of well-chosen modifications. Suspension upgrades, chip, brakes, exhaust, and wheels complete the standard modification lineup on this now two-decades-old M3 that brings a few nice stock options like the slicktop sunroof delete and Vader seats. For just $10,500, it’s the perfect representation of why the E36 M3 is in the running for best performance value available.

Personally, I’d raise it up from its current position of framerails resting on the concrete and find some Style 22s to replace the expensive and popular but too-aftermarket BBS RKs. The interior looks like it has been used by less-than-gentle butts, but some leather-care products and gentler use from here on out can keep this E36 looking great. Even with a little stockification in the looks department, the modifications are going to do their job and make this acclaimed driver’s car handle even better. As nice examples of the E30 325is climb towards five-figures, why not just rock the people’s ///M and spend a smart $10k here?
