The Official Bring A Trailer (BaT) Thread

Surprised no one commented on this one - most tempting Euro E36 M3 I've seen in a while. And to me selling price wasn't crazy: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-bmw-m3-70/

Thing is rad, $55k is much more reasonable than the $80k listing price it was at for a while. Still a bit wild to me that these cars are going for so much, but it’s definitely a dream spec.

I’d want a more exciting color but this would be my choice. Slicktop, style 24s, aluminum doors, 6 speed, S50B32, M cross...

I had a 1995 M3 Alpine White and it was an absolute soldier, best car ever with OBDI. I had a friend that use to program Eproms, I had so many different tunes I could just plug in.

This car would be my pick as well, the interior screams the 90's, love it.

That's why I would remove and sell them. I would keep steering wheel tho and put ACS Type 1 17'' instead!

I’m an outlier in that sense, I love 18s on an e36 as long as it’s not a track car. I have 18” AC Schnitzer Type IIIs (monoblock, not Racing) and some 18” BBS RGRs

Funny you should mention that. Braymond actually brought that up as well in the auction comments. Kind of a shame because the pre-facelift kidney grilles look so much better IMO. Pre-facelift nose panel and kidney grilles are somewhere on the list of wants for my 99.

Interesting, good to know how that differs. And that makes sense because a lot of 96 euro cars have that and I was wondering what the deal was.

Yea that thing's bad ass. A lot of that interior is redone which is fine, slick top and aluminum doors are really cool on those cars. I don't know if it's the same on Euro cars but US cars from 1996 have unique grilles and old style side markers, which this car does not have.

Regarding the “96” details. 1996 kidneys in the North America market are on all 1996 model year with 6 cylinders, including M3. This is a preface lift sized kidney but has its own design element that no other year has. In the European market, there are no model years, just the raw production dates. “96” specific kidneys only go by their short live month start/end dates. It is incorrect to suggest that the body panels on this car have been changed. The cutoff date for those early 96 elements were already changed to face lift for this month/year car. No body panels have been changed.

Yea see that is a cool car for sure, one of the 45 Canadian ones that kind of started it all. Can take it or leave it with the AC Schnitzer parts, 19-inch Type III Racing are a bit much lol. But that was such a flex back in the day. At this point in the game, all of that period correct tuner stuff is extremely rare.

I would buy this one instead and sell all the AC Schnitzer parts

There are a bunch of things wrong with this one but it would be a cool driver at like $35-40k. Pricing is already past a reasonable point IMO. Personally I’d rather have an EVO model with a cool spec. Or just a US M3 with an S54 in it 🤷🏻♂️

Not how I'd describe this GT....
