patsbimmer1 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 A family friend is selling his 95 Dakar e36 M3 coupe and asked me to help out. His total years of ownership is over 10 years but during that span it did a stint with a tech from Patrick BMW at which point he purchased it back about 10 years ago. I had a chance to drive the car this morning and it is absolutely sublime! The exhaust is intoxicating and asks you to wring it out, the handling is SOLID, the clutch is just heavy enough, the UUC shifter is like loading a gun. It does not drive like a 25 year old car. This car is 85% of the way to a full on track build but in it's current state maintains a very nice balance between track ready and road cruiser. He brought me on board to go through the car for a pre-sale inspection. We will be replacing the guibo preventatively. The headliner is on our to-do list as well in the next two weeks. Vin# wbsbf93245EH02333 Miles: 149k The Good: Xenon Euro Elipsoid Headlights with Angel Eyes Brembo GT BBK front TMS power slotted rear rotors Rear muffler delete with remus tips chipped UUC SSK Sunroof Front Strut Brace Conforti CAI Bilstein Coilovers Corner Balanced LTW Rep rear spoiler AC Schnitzer aluminum e brake handle Alpine head unit Chassis X brace Euro MAF full tool kit NO RUST Leather is NEAR perfect condition Always garaged No faded plastic No dead pixels Front seats from 96-99 (thanks rekpoint) Did I say NO RUST already? The Bad: weak A/C headliner sagging guibo is starting to show wear 3-4 small spider cracks in front and rear bumper VERY VERY slight fading of paint BUT clear coat is perfect CEL on due to euro maf and chip check brakes on due to BBK slight glovebox sag Steering wheel is crooked but it tracks straight Will need new front rotors if it is tracked P_Roloff and Rekpoint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Updated with seat info. Seats from 96-99 car. @Rekpoint tells me these are more desirable because of their durability. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she needs a bmw and this is up her alley way. Also imagine having an E36 parts plug that does home delivery. Just saying. patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnt m3 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I just wanted to add that 95 dakar cars didn't have clear coat as an fyi. Considering that, this car is in much better than average condition. Also, did you scan for codes? Shouldn't have a check engine light with the proper tune. SOLID deal for someone, regardless.

Thanks for that TJ! I haven't scanned yet but will be doing that while i'm over there tonight getting video and more pictures. The car drove absolutely flawless with no hiccups at all so i'm not sure why the light would be on but it doesn't appear to be anything major if it's not tune/maf related.

swiper Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all. I will eventually be making a new thread for this, but I wanted to pop in and introduce myself as the new owner. Things have escalated very quickly with this car, and this winter, the engine is getting a complete overhaul (with the exception of the bottom end). The car was in excellent condition considering mileage and age, but it had some oil seepage from most gaskets, power steering, and all the other common E36 things. Anyways, so I pulled the motor... More to come later, and I will consolidate all of this in a more formal post. If you want to follow along immediately, I post regularly to my story on Instagram about what’s going on (search “therealswiper”) Cheers, Josh Jdesign, Partiallypurple, patsbimmer1 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalking you on Instagram was getting old. I update the old owner periodically to assure him that the car is in good hands. I know this is a car I'm going to wish I bought when I had the chance but I'm happy you've got the time to give it the love it deserves. Please keep updating us!
