A 1999 BMW M3 Convertible with relatively low mileage has entered the online auction market, drawing early interest as it is offered without reserve. Located in Leawood, Kansas, the vehicle has reached a high bid of $9,500 with more than a week remaining before the auction concludes.
This model represents the final production year of the E36-generation M3, a platform widely regarded for blending everyday usability with balanced performance. Designed as a driver-focused sports car rather than relying on raw power alone, the U.S.-spec M3 is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six engine rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This example is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and equipped with a limited-slip differential, reinforcing its enthusiast appeal.
Finished in Hellrot Red, the convertible features a black soft top and includes a color-matched removable hardtop, expanding its usability across seasons. The interior is trimmed in Sand Beige nappa leather and includes heated, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a Harman Kardon audio system with a cassette player and CD changer. Exterior details include M-specific bodywork and 17-inch Style 24 alloy wheels.

Showing just over 42,000 miles, the car has received several maintenance updates during current ownership. Reported work includes replacement of the radiator, a transmission seal, and a rear exhaust bracket, along with routine oil service and a battery replacement. The seller also notes possession of service records dating back to 2000, along with original manuals and documentation.
Despite its condition and relatively low mileage, the vehicle presents some age-related issues. These include a worn motor mount, inoperative passenger-side mirror, and cosmetic wear on the seat upholstery. The tires show older production dates, and a past accident involving rear damage was recorded in 2000.
The auction includes additional items such as winter wheels and tires, a wind deflector, a car cover, and the removable hardtop with stand and cover. With no reserve set, the final sale price remains open as bidding continues.
