42k-Mile 1999 BMW M3 Convertible 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

With the 1999 M3, BMW closed out the remarkable and transformative E36-generation 3-Series. The M3 is powered by BMW's S52 3.2L inline-six engine producing 240 horsepower and 236 lb ft of torque for the U.S. market when new, and paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic. Comfortable enough for daily driving yet capable on a back road or track, the final E36 M3 stands as a well-built and appreciated ‘90s sports car that rewards driver input rather than brute force

Finished in Hellrot Red with a power-operated black convertible soft top, this 5-speed M3 droptop features 17” Style 24 alloy wheels, M-specific front and rear bumpers and side trim, Sand Beige nappa leather upholstery, and a color-matched removable hardtop.

This M3 now shows just over 42,000 miles, and the current owner reports that the radiator, a transmission seal, and the rear exhaust hangar have been replaced.

This low-mileage 1999 BMW M3 Convertible is now offered at no reserve with a color-matched removable hardtop, wind deflector, winter wheels and tires, manufacturer's literature, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Kansas title in the seller’s name.
