Congrats! Beautiful car! That's exactly what I'd be driving if I wasn't driving a 911.

Beautiful car, Yasir. Even my wife (total non-car person) loves the 4-door E36 M3. Looks pristine, and is an even bigger sleeper than the original concept. Congrats.

That is SWEET! Tell me about your wheels and tires! I just picked up a 92 E-36 coupe with 65K on the clock. Still sorting it out. Sat in a garage for past seven years!

Man that is awesome!! M3 is a great looking car.

If I may be so rude, how much did you pay for it?

Appreciate all the +ve comments and yes i love this M3 sedan...The wheels are SSR GT3's 18x8.5 with 245/35 upfront and 18x9.5 with 255/35 on the rear...decided to go with Michelin Pilot S2's..
Buying this car certainly wasn't cheap either...extremely low mileage,one owner and fully documented service and Turbocharged conversion made this car very special ...When i think how much i paid for it ( $36,000 ) i feel like but then every time i look at it and i take it out for i spin i feel like this a big ear to ear face hurting grin....

$36K, you're practically married to it now

In all seriousness, it looks like a beautiful car and loads of fun on the street. Have fun.

Pretty much but lets do a break down and see if this car's worth mid 30's or not...
1)- 10K miles,original owner,no story and near brand new ///M3 esp a Sedan.....So what would you pay for it ? Can you even find one ?
Lets just say if you find one,the price would be at least $23,000 if not more...
2)-How much do you think a documented Active autowerks Turbo conversion would be ? My research showed me at least $10,000 for just the parts,not counting the labor and the tunning....
3)-The car also has
.... AA Exhaust $ 700
..... Coil over system $1500
.....Methanol injection system $1400
...Heavy duty motor mounts
...,VDO Guages,all wires shrink wrapped,Turbo timer,Anti theft glass protection,RTAB,strut bars,Hids to name few goodies....
So there you have it.....I personally think i paid a fair amount of money for the car....even if i paid more at least i have a piece of mind and a very rare car in a pretty desirable color combo........

Beautiful car, you can't even get a decently loaded minivan for that kind of money, who cares if you paid a few pennies too much or too little! Whether you could have gotten the car for a little less makes no difference in your life, but you'll get a ton of enjoyment out of that rocket!
