An impressive example of the lauded 1990s performance coupe, presented in an appealing factory colour scheme. Under the bonnet is the 3.0-litre S50 straight-six producing 282bhp, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. First registered in 1994, this BMW M3 is in original and unmolested condition, and benefits from a recent service. This E36-generation M3 was specified in the stunning Avus Blue Metallic paintwork over Dove Grey leather colour scheme. The interior features the original M Sport steering wheel and shifter, scuff plates and BMW M coloured leather inserts, plus the sought-after ‘Vader’ seats. The vehicle rides on its original BMW Motorsport ‘Style 22’ 17-inch alloy wheels and includes the full-size spare. Factory equipment includes a sunroof, electric windows and mirrors, dual-zone climate control, heated rear screen, and the original BMW radio cassette deck. The vehicle is supplied with the original owner’s manual and some receipts for past servicing. The number plate shown in the photo gallery is not included. There is no known body damage. The Avus Blue Metallic paintwork is in very good condition for its age, with small stone chips commensurate with the age of the vehicle. The wheels appear to be free from any gutter damage, and all of the factory badges are present and correct. Inside, the leather interior with M Sport trim is generally presentable, though the driver’s seat shows more noticeable cracking and damage on both the upper and lower bolstering. The dash, door cards and roof lining are all in good condition, and everything works as it should. There are no known mechanical or electrical issues. The most recent roadworthy test was a NSW Blue Slip inspection, performed when the current owner purchased the vehicle, with no warnings or advisories being issued. The most recent service was performed in December 2021, with the engine oil and filter changed, diff fluid replaced, the cooling system flushed, and the brakes overhauled. This BMW (E36) M3 Coupe is a good, solid example of the desirable E36-generation performance car that has become a true modern classic. Presented in a handsome factory colour scheme, it remains in highly original condition and benefits from a recent service. It would make an exciting companion for back road blasts and is ready to impress its next enthusiast owner.
