A few months after five BMW E36 M3 Lightweight models formerly owned by Paul Walker were auctioned off, this stunning 1995 model has been listed up for sale.
Just 126 examples of the M3 Lightweight were ever manufactured and this particular one was sold new in Washington state. It is currently located in Connecticut with a clean Carfax report and a clean New York title and has 93,000 miles (~150,000 km) on the clock.
The Bring A Trailer auction reveals it was acquired by the selling dealer earlier this year and in February, received a new serpentine belt, idle pulley, and a new battery. In addition, a new thermostat was installed. A separate service in September 2019 saw the engine mounts replaced as well as the brake fluid and oil changed. The car has a clean Carfax with no recorded accidents.
Like all other M3 Lightweights, the sports car is painted Alpine White and BMW M chequered-flag graphics. It has also been equipped with the available rear wing and a more pronounced front splitter. The original 17-inch wheels have been maintained and are wrapped in 245/40 Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires.
While the car has quite high miles on it compared to those sold by Paul Walker’s estate, it looks to have been very well maintained. Most notably, the interior appears to be in tip-top shape with little signs of wear on the seats.
Driving the car is a 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 240 hp and 225 lb-ft (305 Nm) of torque from the factory and mated to a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels.
