Purchased new in 1995 from Cheyne BMW in London by an Italian professional. Shortly after acquiring the car, the owner relocated to Singapore for work. Before departing, he drove the M3 to his hometown of Alassio in Italy where it was meticulously stored in a private garage and left untouched for nearly three decades. In 2024, it went back to London, having remained unused and preserved since its arrival in Italy. It shows just 2908 miles and is excellently preserved.
Market commentary
The E36 (1992–99) generation of the M3 is something of an underloved middle child between the raw, groundbreaking original E30 before it and the cleaner, crisper, near perfect E46 that came after. E36s are rewarding to drive and have depreciated to the point of being attainable, so there are few out there even remotely as nice as this one. Its preservation seems to have been mostly by accident, but no matter; it must be among the nicest standard E36 M3s in the world. Combined with its U.K. market configuration, this E36 is probably the most desirable one in Britain. That explains this beyond-market price, because other very good E36s don’t typically sell for half this amount.
