1995 | BMW M3 Coupe 5-Speed

This 1995 BMW M3 is an exceptional, low-mileage example of one of the best-handling cars ever produced by the German brand. Finished in Alpine White with BMW flag motif graphics, it pays tribute to the rare E36 M3 Lightweight, which was used by Michelin in the 2000s and 2010s to help develop high-performance tires. According to the seller, the car has always been hand-washed, never waxed or buffed, and has been stored in a climate-controlled garage, including a car bubble, for the last several years. Remarkably, it retains its original Cosmoline coating on the undercarriage from when it was delivered new in 1995, making it a true time capsule—like purchasing a brand-new car 30 years later.
 
The Gray Leather interior, featuring the coveted “Vader” sport seats, is in perfect condition, thanks to single ownership until 2023 and fewer than 4,000 miles driven. Notable options include forged 5-spoke 17” wheels ($1,450), an electric sunroof ($1,200), an onboard computer, cruise control, and heated front seats. Located in Springfield, Missouri, this M3 comes with a clean Carfax report detailing its history.
 
Under the hood, a U.S. market 3.0-liter inline-six engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, provides the E36 M3 with its ideal 50:50 weight distribution. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform is engineered for pure performance, with a BMW Motorsport-tuned suspension, limited-slip differential, and ventilated disc brakes. While the focus is on driving dynamics, it still offers creature comforts like dual-zone climate control and a BMW audio system with an AM/FM cassette stereo, complemented by high-quality leather and the aforementioned sunroof.
 
The BMW M3’s sublime balance of power and agility is well-known, with the E30 having already seen its value skyrocket over the past two decades. Now, the E36 is following suit, and this low-mileage example stands out as one of the finest available.
