We are really excited to offer this late BMW M3 Evolution for sale. This is an exceptionally rare car, particularly as it is totally standard and with a manual gearbox! Yes, it has high mileage, but these were motorway miles. It has a very tight chassis, punchy engine and the interior is rattle free. This is an M3 Evolution that managed to escape the track day warrior!, On arrival R32LPH went for a detailed inspection at Burch Motor Works, the renowned BMW specialist. The engine, cooling system, chassis and suspension and jacking points were all reported to be in good health. It was also reported that the car is in completely standard form including all the rubber bushes. It was decided that to protect the car for the future that it would have an underside strip down, clean. paint and rust proof while at the same time refreshing worn parts as listed below., For this work to be carried out we took it Simeon at Project Shop in Bicester.
