This 1998 BMW M3 coupe was purchased new by the seller from Momentum BMW of Houston, Texas, and relocated to Illinois in 2003. The car is finished in red over black Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes fog lights, a rear spoiler, cruise control, a sunroof, heated Vader sport seats, automatic climate control, and a Harman Kardon audio system.
The car is finished in Bright Red (314) and features a rear spoiler, M3 badging, a sunroof, and twin polished exhaust finishers.
Factory 17″ Style 39M wheels are wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires sized 225/45 up front and 245/40 out back and showing 2020 date codes. The car is equipped with Automatic Stability Control, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The cabin features heated Vader sport seats finished in black Nappa leather (N5SW) along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting protected by M3-embroidered floor mats. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, an on-board computer, and a Harman Kardon audio system with a cassette player and a trunk-mounted 6-CD changer. The headliner and pillar trim was restored in April 2021, and wear is present on the leather seats.
A leather-wrapped M steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer has 91k miles.
The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six is equipped with VANOS variable valve timing and produced 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Service in October 2020 included replacement of the accessory drive belts, thermostat and housing, spark plugs, hood struts, and air filter along with a coolant flush and an oil change.
