1999 BMW M3 Convertible

Description

1999 was the final production year of the E36-generation M3, and the first M3 generation offered in three series-production body styles — sedan, coupe, and convertible. U.S.-spec cars used a unique 3.2-liter S52 inline-six rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, down from the 321-horsepower S50B32 used in European-market M3s of the era, and BMW additionally offered an optional 5-speed automatic transmission.

This example is finished in Dakar Yellow II and is equipped with the five-speed automatic transmission. Showing just under 135,000 miles, this M3 is equipped with 17-inch "M Contour" wheels, a black convertible top and leather sport seat interior, the factory radio and Harman Kardon Hi-Fi sound system, and a suite of both performance and luxury options.

This 1999 BMW M3 is now offered with a window sticker, owner's manuals, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Washington title in the seller's name.
