1996 BMW M3 Cabriolet for Sale in Netherlands

This 1996 BMW M3 Cabriolet of the E36 generation has covered an original 18,279 km. Its first owner ordered it with every factory option he could find, after four handwritten quotations that grew longer each time, and the same BMW dealer delivered and maintained it throughout. Auto Leitner in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, describes it as accident-free, in its first paint and in outstanding condition.

The colour is rare: 490 Glaciergrün metallic from BMW Individual, a silver with a hint of green that was then new on the E39, over Individual Nappa leather in Haselnuss, which also covers the dashboard and door panels. It has the 3.2-litre engine with the six-speed manual gearbox, 17-inch M Styling 24 wheels with polished rims, an electric black soft top, a wind deflector, heated electric sports seats, automatic climate control, the rarely ordered BMW Professional radio with CD changer and HiFi Aktiv sound, and a detachable tow bar that has never been used. It comes with four keys, the original invoice with its quotations, the manuals and the original brochures and price lists.

FAQ

This BMW M3 Cabriolet in the European market

Is this BMW M3 priced above or below the European market?

At €119,500, it sits above the median of €72,481 for the 7 BMW M3 advertised in Europe in 2026. 86% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this BMW M3 be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Alkmaar, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: Margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this BMW M3 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €51,129 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €119,500, 134% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this BMW M3 compare?

18,000 km recorded, against a median of 68,100 km across the BMW M3 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other BMW M3 are priced closest to this one?

a 1987 car in Germany at €94,900, and a 1996 car in Germany at €79,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this BMW M3, and how does a purchase work?

Auto Leitner, a professional dealer in Alkmaar, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this BMW M3 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Alkmaar, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.
