This is an E36 BMW M3 from the mid 1990s. It has just sold at auction for $385,000, the equivalent of around £300,000. Which in turn makes it the equivalent of a brand new Ferrari 812 Superfast with options.
Why the heck did it sell for so much? One, it’s an ultra-rare E36 M3 Lightweight, one of around 120 made, and with a smidge under 5,000 miles on its odometer. Two, it was owned by Paul Walker. Yeah, that’ll do it.
It sold as part of a 21-strong ‘Paul Walker Collection’ sale run by Barrett Jackson, more highlights of which you can peruse via the lovely ‘Next’ box below…
