    Very nice Estoril/Dove on BAT

    The value of stock unmolested e36 M3's are on the rise. This one's already at $15K with 3 days left:

    Anyone's car on here?

    I'm betting 20k+ for this one. Hopefully the new owner gets exactly what they are expecting when it shows up at their door. Sometimes I forget how beautiful dove is when fresh.

      I'm going to guess $18k for the hell of it.



      Either way, it's always nice to see clean examples like this pop up. Hope it goes to a good home.

        That Dove isn't that fresh, weirdly. The mileage is low, but the interior wear is pretty rough. My car has 118K on it and the vaders/armrest still look way newer. Glad to see that they're starting to go for more.



        Here are photos of my interior when it had 75K miles on it, for comparison.















        I wonder if the current owner just never conditions/cleans the interior. I bet they could clean it up a bit better than in those photos...

          Here's another very clean M3/4/5 that just sold for $15K

          Seller of this car is currently the high bidder on the Estoril Car posted above.

            Hopefully this one goes for a bit less than $15k. Look at the interior. And No Reserve.

              This was a local car to WA and the seller at the time asked for $7,000. The interior was filthy, as was the paints condition, and it was obvious, to me at least, that the car needed an overhaul mechanically. At $7k it was iffy, anything more than that price and I'd walk away.


              As far as my data shows, E36 prices are starting to drop/hold, as the market is about dried up for the time being.

                That interior is so nice! Mine doesn't look anywhere like that unfortunately. Well done keeping the car so clean.

                  All I have to say is I'm just glad I bought mine when I did.

                    Not THAT nice of an example. It has potential to be brought back, but there's a difference between a car that wasn't used much and one that was really well cared for.

                      This right here.





                      Interior on mine was 9/10 when I bought it and remains that way, far better than the example in the OP.

                        Why is E36 M3 N5TT Gray called Dove Grey?

                        Why is E46 M3 also N5TT Gray?

                        Why do E46 owners call theirs Dove Grey and who owns the rights to it?

                          Grey or gray?

                            Seems a pretty honest car. Lots of little things which need addressing so I don't think it'll go that much higher - maybe $16k. The roof repaint is a boner-killer.


                            Always makes me wonder why a seller wouldn't spend $500-$1,000 on the obvious stuff because they'd get back double their money.

                              Interesting rig. @ex36 forum member checked it out and commented. Should be a real world (ie needs some work even at low miles) high bar sale.
