And its ridiculous. Far too nice for me. Should be picking it up tomorrow morning, and will post about it then. Until then, a teaser:

AM3R got it, so here's the info:

It's a '98 E36 M3 Sedan, bone stock, 101k. Boston Green Metallic, Nappa Brown Leather interior. Clean title, manual, etc.

I have owned two cars previously. This is the first that will have A/C.

Nailed it on the head. I might as well give a little background now too, since everyone has guessed correctly.

Pretty sure that's a Lambo.

Awesome! I love the brown interior, you really don't see them that much. It should last you a long time!

If you don't mind me asking, how much lighter is your wallet now? I am feeling out the market for an e36 M3 vs a e46 330Ci, neither are too common where I live, mostly beat to crap Caravans and Cavaliers are on Craigslist. And the e36s that are avalable are "tastefully modified" and thus I don't want them, even though I'm in the age group who would apparently either ride a fixed wheel bicycle or a riced civic (15 wont have my license until Feb.)

I had style 6s! Bought some pristine TSW Nurburgings for $500 in 17x8. Some guy in an Equinox seemed to have no idea that they were light and strongish (for the price).

Lovely car you bought there.

Wow that is an awesome find, congrats.

Most of these cars have way more miles. And finding one with Nappa brown leather is not easy at all.

I'm a little over 9 deep, before redoing the driver's seat (its pretty worn) and any other unseen issues. That's also with fairly low mileage, don't forget.

definitely check BMWCCA.org. It's where most of the good ones flock to, but the majority of them are in Cali or Colorado, for some reason.

damn Wisconsin, salt eats the cars, and (at least in the nearby ghetto city) the ones that aren't are destroyed by those who don't appreciate them for what they are, and the good ones are massively expensive. I was talking to a mechanic at the BMW dealer my grandpa goes to, and he said "don't even look in *insert ghetto city*, look in a $$ suburb of Chicago where they have the money to maintain it."

Nice buy! I know its the underappreciated M3, but I think it has absolutely timeless lines, and will remain perfectly proportioned....for eternity!
