Due to a recent addition to our family, I am looking to trade my Coupe for a sedan. I am looking for an E39 M5. I am willing to add cash on my end obviously. I absolutely love my coupe and I am only looking for a trade that has been as well cared for as mine. I am in no rush and can easily wait until the right car comes along.
Please email me at

The Good
This is easily an above average example of an E36 M3 with a few high quality modifications. You will be hard pressed to find one that is loved as much as this one is. I maintained this car as if I was going to keep it for a very long time, but, my wife and I had our first child recently and the coupe is just not going to work out. This car is rediculously clean and gets compliments all the time.
This M3 was a Texas car for most of its life (up until 100k miles or so) and has been in Tennessee ever since. Because of this, there is absolutely no rust on the car. I did all the maintenance that I could, myself. For the tasks that I could not, the car strictly went to European Auto Garage in Knoxville, TN. Please feel free to look them up as they are a highly respected shop in this area of the country.
The Bad
The UUC RTABs make a little noise. I am planning on having them re-greased but just have not gotten around to it. The paint is in great condition for a 14 year old car except for 1 spot. On the drivers side front quarter panel there is a tennis ball size spot where the clear coat is struggling. It really is not that obvious but I am trying to be up front as possible. The interior is above average but the drivers side seat has typical wear on the outside bolster. The front door panels have the typical vinyl sagging, I have been keeping an eye out for a mint set to replace them with, but have not found any yet.
It does have an intermitent check engine light for the evap system. It comes and goes but does not affect performance in the least. The previous owner had one of the side airbags unplugged when I bought it, I have fixed it but the srs light still needs to be reset.
The hood props just stopped working this week, hoping to address this very soon.
This is a well cared for E36 M3 and it will not dissapoint.
