We love special cars here at SB and when this E36 M3 Evo came onto our radar we couldn’t resist.

And how could we? A one-owner M3 with 332,500 miles showing on the odometer - a true High Mileage Hero! For starters, we have been reliably informed from the current trade seller (who’s maintained the car annually for around 8 years) that this M3 Evo was owned by a judge who purchased it new in 1998 and, if we were to surmise, was most probably a Circuit Judge.

If we were to surmise further, this judge must’ve spent as much time sitting behind the wheel driving cross-country from courthouse to courthouse as he did sitting behind the bench delivering verdicts.

Perhaps a stereotype, but it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that a judge would obey to the letter of the BMW-laws the service and maintenance requirements.

Indeed, this M3 has been maintained regularly throughout its life with a comprehensively stamped service booklet and a very tidy 3-inch thick binder of service receipt...
