37,000 OBO – 1996 BMW M3 Coupe – Techno Violet – 86K Miles – Car Fax Attached – 3rd Owner For sale is my 1996 BMW M3 Coupe finished in the highly desirable Techno Violet Metallic. The car has 86,000 original miles, a clean title, zero accidents, and retains its original paint. Always garage kept and enthusiast owned. Over the years, the car has received numerous high-quality upgrades and maintenance items, including genuine AC Schnitzer components, suspension upgrades, intake and exhaust enhancements, a refreshed cooling system, and interior updates. The car is mechanically sorted and needs nothing. This M3 has never been tracked, raced, or drifted and has been meticulously maintained throughout ownership. Finding a Techno Violet, 5-speed coupe with this mileage, history, and originality is becoming increasingly difficult. Notable upgrades and maintenance include – * KW V3 suspension * AC Schnitzer Type I wheels * Genuine AC Schnitzer shifter * Genuine AC Schnitzer pedals * Genuine AC Schnitzer comps. * OEM LTW rear wing OEM risers * Dinan cold air intake * Dinan exhaust * New tires * New cooling system * Refreshed interior Serious inquiries only. No trades.
This ask is running about $14,218 over the comparable average, so spec, provenance, and presentation need to justify the premium.
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.
