SB's Take

  • Rare E36-generation M3 Evolution in Cosmos-Schwarz (1/329), enthusiast-owned and dry stored for the last nine years
  • Full Comprehensive Service History, including two up-to-date stamped service booklets
  • Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre inline-six, delivering 321 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque
  • Genuine AC Schnitzer Type II wheels
If you're after the unmistakable characteristics and soundtrack of a classic BMW M, then you really needn't look beyond what we have here. SB are thrilled to offer this incredible BMW (E36) M3 in a rare and desirable Cosmos-Schwarz exterior paint. This generation of M car defies its age and keeps its reputation firmly in tact as a car that is both quick and immensely capable while offering a perfect balance of comfort and design excellence. The engine is the legendary S50B32 3.2-litre inline-six delivering 321 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and mated to an engaging 6-speed manual transmission. The interior seen here is special; the all black leather "Vader" seats with subtle M stripes found on this particular example are in remarkable condition, with no visible rips or tears. Modern amenities including air conditioning and an electric sunroof are nice touches, too. This E36 M3 has been dry stored for the last nine years and has covered less than 250 miles in the last five. A manual, black, E36 M3? Surely this has to be on your list if you're even slightly curious about what all the fuss is about surrounding M cars. As always, the seller is available to answer any questions via the comments section below and would like to highlight that the cherished Reg plate is included in the sale. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.
