Born from the ground breaking E36-generation 3-Series, the 1995 BMW M3 was proof that a sports car could be both thrilling and livable. The jewel-like 3.0-litre S50B30U straight-six screamed to redline, but offered enough low-end torque to handle day-to-day commuting and traffic.

Where the original E30 M3 had been a focused, road-going racer, the E36 grew up without going soft. The cabin felt genuinely premium — a place you could happily cross a continent in — while the chassis delivered a balance of grip and adjustability that delighted drivers at every level of skill.

On road or track, the M3's poise was exceptional. Power steered confidently to the rear wheels and the suspension soaked up imperfections without ever blunting its sporting edge. Three decades on, the E36 M3 is rightly considered a high-water mark — the moment BMW M GmbH proved that everyday greatness and genuine excitement are not opposites, but perfect partners.

This ’95 M3 Coupe was purchased new from Levin BMW in Schererville, Indiana, and remained with its original owner until being acquired by the selling dealer. Finished in classic Arctic over Black nappa leather, it shows just over 51,000 miles and was factory-equipped with heated and power-adjustable front seats as well as the Luxury package with upgraded interior trim.

This 1995 BMW M3 is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer in Illinois with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Indiana title.
