SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. THIS… is a 1995 BMW M3 Coupe, finished in Avus Blue Metallic with a Champagne interior. This M3 features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and its odometer currently displays about 45,000 miles. According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes 17-inch Style 23 wheels, a limited-slip differential, a rear spoiler, a sunroof, Nappa leather upholstery, an M Sport steering wheel, cruise control, and an on-board computer. Modifications reported by the selling dealer are limited to tinted windows. BMW introduced the E36-generation M3 to the U.S. market as a coupe for the 1995 model year, and it expanded the range with a sedan and a convertible in 1997 and 1998, respectively. It was bigger than its predecessor, the original E30-based model, but it offered 6-cylinder power while retaining engaging dynamics synonymous with the M3 moniker. Power comes from an S50 3.0-liter inline-6, rated at 240 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. Equipment A build sheet is provided in the photo gallery, and a partial list of notable equipment includes: 17-inch Style 23 wheels Limited-slip differential Rear spoiler Fog lights Power sunroof Nappa leather upholstery Fine wood interior trim Power-adjustable front seats Air conditioning HiFi sound system On-board computer Cruise control

Price sits close to the current comparable average, so the decision will come down to condition, provenance, and how complete the file is.

Photo coverage is reasonably deep at 6 images, which helps with judging cosmetics and seller transparency before leaving VINthusiast.

Documentation still reads thin here, so this is the kind of listing where invoice detail and specialist history should drive the next round of diligence.
