Description

This 5 speed manual 1998 M3 Sedan is available for sale. It is a higher mileage example of one of the best handling cars ever produced. The E36 platform is a weapon of choice for many driving enthusiasts at the local autocross and road course for high performance driving events because of its balance and acumen when driven at the limit.

Our Take:
  • The E36 M3 Sedan Rarity: The 1998 BMW M3 Sedan is a bit of an anomaly in M3 lore. While the coupe version steals the spotlight in most enthusiast circles, the sedan version is beloved for its practical, family-friendly nature. There were fewer sedans produced compared to coupes in this generation, making it a charming find for someone who wants performance with a family twist.
  • Manual Transmission Delight: A 5-speed manual is exactly what you want if you're aiming to extract every ounce of joy from driving this Bavarian wonder. It's often said that the E36 M3 is "the ultimate driving machine," and the manual gearbox is an integral part of what makes it feel so engaging. Imagine it—the symphony of shifting gears as you carve through a twisty back road or tackle a challenging track.
  • Performance Upgrades: This M3 has been thoughtfully upgraded with track-oriented modifications like the Ground Control coilovers and Dinan strut brace, enhancing its already impressive chassis dynamics. The addition of Firestone Indy 500 tires and PFC 11 brake pads means this car's braking and grip are nothing short of formidable—ideal for high-performance driving events.
  • Cosmos Black Elegance: The Cosmos Black exterior paired with the Dove Grey interior offers a striking contrast that looks both classic and timeless. With a history of both track days and daily usability, this example stands as a testament to the M3's dual-nature of being a capable track performer and a somewhat practical daily driver.
