duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this well preserved 1997 BMW M3 Sedan, finished in iconic Alpine White III over a Light Grey Nappa leather interior. Showing just 8,673 miles and completely original, this E36-generation M3 represents a beautifully preserved example of one of BMW M's defining performance sedans. Powered by a 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission, this example is accompanied by a Clean CarFax, two keys, owner's booklets, and a Peake factory code reader. This low-mileage example is offered out of the Hale Collection, an exclusive compilation of rare and desirable collector cars available only on duPont REGISTRY Live at no reserve.

The E36 BMW M3 established a benchmark for the modern sport sedan, combining motorsport-derived engineering with everyday practicality. Its high-revving naturally aspirated inline-six, rear-wheel drive, performance-tuned chassis, and limited-slip differential created a balanced, engaging driving experience that remains a defining characteristic of BMW M cars.

Finished in Alpine White III, this example retains its clean, understated factory appearance, complemented by a black pinstripe along each side, 17-inch Style 39 wheels, and a factory sunroof. Remaining all original, the exterior presents an exceptionally authentic representation of BMW's iconic 1990s performance sedan.

Inside, Light Grey Nappa leather upholstery creates a bright, sophisticated cabin, complemented by manually adjustable seats and distinctive M stripes on the seat upholstery. M3 badging on the door sills and floor mats adds factory-correct Motorsport detailing throughout the driver-focused interior.

Power comes from BMW's celebrated 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The limited-slip differential and M-specific chassis tuning deliver the direct, communicative handling that helped make the E36 M3 a modern performance icon.

Showing just 8,673 miles and remaining all original, this exceptional 1997 BMW M3 Sedan represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved example of BMW's legendary E36-generation M3. Accompanied by a Clean CarFax, two keys, owner's booklets, a Peake factory code reader, and a factory roof rack, this Alpine White III example combines four-door practicality, analog performance, and unmistakable BMW M character in a well preserved package.

Inspectors Notes: You are looking at a 90's time capsule. It is easy to tell that Mr. Hale took great care of his cars, and this example is no different. If you are looking for 90's nostalgia, then look no further. The undercarriage still proudly wears all of its original M3 stamping, even after nearly 30 years.
