No price tag on this but a feeler post. E36 M3 sedan Techno Violet. High mileage 223k

That's not high mileage.

It's probably a 13-15k car as it sits. Ad reads like he would want more than that though.

I'd love to daily it.

^ Wasnt this car for sale before in Richmond a few months ago with photos in a townhouse complex ?

Looks to be the same one. I was really tempted to get it as a daily to go with my avus blue coupe

twitchyzero 05-11-2020 10:53 PM

how much was it asking, 18k iirc?

68style 05-11-2020 10:57 PM

Can’t remember, searched the thread and the price wasn’t quoted... maybe Westopher remembers cuz he commented about the price

fliptuner 05-11-2020 11:39 PM

I hate feeler posts. You either want to sell it for $xxx or you don't. It's your car, set the price. The demand will dictate if it sells or not. Simple.

dark0821 05-12-2020 06:56 AM

^ That.... and commit to actually setting up a time to show/view the car....

What did I say about it? I can’t remember.
If I said it was a steal - 10-12k
Good deal - 13-15k
Ok price - 15k-17k
A little over priced - 17-19k
Crackpipe - 20k+

68style 05-12-2020 10:13 AM

^
you said you wouldn’t let your car go for anywhere near that price... and then some user named “is350“ failed you hahahaha

320icar 05-12-2020 10:24 AM

To be far to ‘is350’ Chris has a very strong emotional bond with his e36 and wouldnt ever get the money he would want for it :p

Also wasn’t that is350 a troll? If I remember I’ve been failed by him dozens of times.


bcrdukes 05-12-2020 10:27 AM

C'mon man, we're all trolls on the forum.

Most of my fails are from him too LOL. I think there was a thing in shitty driver's thread where we failed him to oblivion and he failed all of us too.

Is this for both sedan and coupe? I saw that FT post too, I was curious to know selling price.. Perhaps new-to-me BMW?

(also Pick a ride for BICBAWS thread incoming, just gotta separate it cause of word limit LOL)

I wouldn't, but that doesn't mean someone can't find a different one for market value. My car isn't for sale, and is full of parts that most people in the e36 community want and can't find. If someone wanted to build my car, it would take them 20ish for the car and another 10k+ in rare OEM parts that would take them years to find.
is350 is just crying because I made fun of him for a half assed dox on some lady a long time ago, and fails me every single post he sees from me since then. Its totally unrelated to anything I write in the actual posts.

GS8 05-12-2020 11:06 AM

I believe that M3 was between $13-15K (mid teens basically). Just looking at the mileage, I wouldn't have posted it if it was over $15K.

EDIT: I could have sworn the last time it was posted, it was listed in Vancouver, not Richmond but I can't totally remember. It might have changed hands.


I don't know much about BMWs (only BBWs)

For the most part. Coupe has more buyers looking for them, but sedans are rare in comparison. Sedans usually end up a touch less than coupes but not enough to be notable. People tend to put the most value in the e36 on rare colours and transmission.

Jmac 05-12-2020 11:31 AM

is350 fails me often as well and I have no idea what the hell I did to him.

bcrdukes 05-12-2020 11:50 AM

I sold my E36 M3 sedan (not coupe!) 5 years ago for around $12K or so. It had a nice suspension setup and all the details taken care of. But keep in mind, 5 years ago, not many people were lusting after E36 M3s as it hadn't reached cult status, and E46 M3 was (and still is) the more desirable option. Sedan models are rare, but like westopher said, they don't have the same demand as couples due to the variety of options and availability. I liked the sedan for its practicality, but it also means someone looking for the same level of practicality has the same requirement. They aren't putting coupes at the top of their list for that reason. Coupes are often more of a "Shut up and take my money!" situation than compared to sedans.

underscore 05-12-2020 01:06 PM

I don't like feeler posts for common stuff like mostly stock modern cars you can find anywhere, but for older/rarer vehicles I can understand the thought behind it. They don't have to sell the car so it won't be a crazy deal, but if someone wants that particular car with that particular setup they'll mainly be saving the time to get a cheaper one to that state. If westopher had his car for $30k it would be a crackpipe price to someone that just wants an E36, but if someone wants one in the condition his is with the rare mods and the maintenance they're saving a ton of time and work.

Granted that shrinks the number of potential buyers immensely, but it at least ensures the car is more likely to go to someone that will actually care for it and not just run it into the ground.

Clean little Prelude

twitchyzero 05-12-2020 07:14 PM

i believe that generation has seats from recaro

TouringTeg 05-12-2020 08:42 PM

That Prelude is a real survivor.

snowfarmer 05-12-2020 08:55 PM

It all makes sense now, about the Buicks! Those BBW's love the big comfy American car. I respect your cunning strategy sir.

I wonder if he's trying a consignment deal

I'd be way into it if I was shopping for a family hauler.
