This BMW E36 M3 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1996 BMW M3 coupe is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and it is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Anthracite M Cross cloth. Equipment includes 17″ Style 39 wheels, fog lights, a sunroof, cruise control, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The car has been registered in Vermont and Massachusetts, and it now has 125k miles following its recent acquisition by the selling dealer. Service in 2021 reportedly included replacing the battery, tires, and brake components. This E36 M3 coupe is now offered by the selling dealer with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Massachusetts title.
