Similar to the European-market M3 of the time, this Japanese-market 1995 BMW E36 M3 Coupe features a more powerful 3.0-liter S50B30 inline-six than its North American-spec counterparts. The car is finished in Avus Blue Metallic over a black interior featuring manually adjustable Anthracite fabric Vader sports seats with M Rain inserts. It comes equipped without a sunroof and includes a 5-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, Euro-spec glass headlights, air conditioning, power windows, a central locking system, an onboard computer, and 17” Style 39 wheels. Imported from Japan to the U.S. by the selling dealer in April 2024, this M3 is now being offered for auction once again on PCARMARKET out of Virginia with just over 99k kilometers (~62k miles) showing on the odometer.
Compared to a standard E36 3-Series model, the M3 version is distinguished by unique bumpers, a front spoiler, side skirts, aerodynamic mirrors, and body moldings with integrated M3 badges. This slicktop Coupe is finished in Avus Blue Metallic and features Euro-spec glass headlamps, front fog lights, power mirrors, pop-out rear quarter windows, a dual-tipped exhaust outlet, and silver 17” style 39 wheels dressed in new Petlas tires. The seller notes the hood was previously refinished and a small chip on it has been filled with touch-up paint. A minor scuff is on the rear bumper, a small ding is below the passenger-side taillight, and some scuffs are on the underside of the front bumper. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The black interior features manually adjustable Anthracite fabric Vader front sports seats with M Rain cloth inserts and matching rear seats. Accessories include a four-spoke leather steering wheel, an M sport shift knob, M3-branded door sills, power windows, a central locking system, an onboard computer, and an aftermarket DVD stereo with a navigation screen. A third-party inspection shows all gauges and accessories are working properly.
Equipped with individual throttle bodies, the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter S50B30 inline-six engine was factory-rated at 282 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque, an increase of 42 HP compared to U.S. spec motors. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller notes an oil change was recently completed, and a third-party inspection is provided for reference in the gallery.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a first aid kit, a spare tire, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “A Japanese spec M3 that is so fun to drive!”
