1998 BMW M3 Sedan 5-Speed

The car is finished in Dakar Yellow II (337) and features fog lights, a sunroof, dual exhaust outlets, and factory aerodynamic bumpers, side sills, and mirrors. The windshield has a crack, there is a dent on the passenger-side quarter panel, and the rear lower panel has paint fade.

Staggered-width 17″ Style 39 wheels are fitted with a mixed set of tires. The car is equipped with a sport-tuned suspension, traction control, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. Service in 2019 included replacement of the front lower control arm ball joints, sway bar end link and bushings, tie rod ends, front and rear brake pads and rotors, as well as the driveshaft flex joint. Stainless steel braided brake lines were also installed at that time.

The cabin features heated power-adjustable sport seats upholstered in Black Nappa leather along with matching door panels and carpets. Amenities include cruise control, an onboard computer, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, a Harman Kardon sound system, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 196k miles, approximately 21k of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Service includes cleaning of the injectors and replacement of the engine electric cooling fan, alternator, starter, and intake manifold gasket in 2018. Work between 2019 and 2020 included replacement of the engine mounts and oil pan gasket as well as replacement of the cylinder head gasket, coolant overflow tank, coolant temperature sensor, battery, accessory belt, tensioners and pulleys, fuel filter, and oil filter housing gasket. A Z3M larger-capacity radiator was also fitted at that time. An oil change was performed in August 2026.
