I would sooner take his M5:

At least he was more straightforward with his M5 and did a Buy It Now for what he wants for it. I'm guessing he's hoping the younger crowd will just pay with their left nut to get the M3?

Looks like he's only looking for $80k for the M3. I'd feel REALLY sorry if someone did a buy it now at $125k:

K, but what's the point of it? To buy cars just because you can. What if you're not into cars and you just want something good and comfortable.

I know I would own a shitload of cars and drive something else everyday of the week. But that's me.

To answer your question:

What is an E36 M3 Lightweight?

The M3 Lightweight (sometimes referred to as the M3 CSL) is a special version of the U.S. model E36 M3 designed for track driving. Approximately 120 were built between July and October of 1995 by BMW Individual (the division of BMW M responsible for special orders). These cars retain the stock 240-hp S50 B30 USA powerplant, though BMW claimed that all engines fitted to the Lightweights were tested to make sure they were operating at the top of the acceptable range. According to BMW figures, the Lightweight weighs 2,950 lbs., 225 less than the regular M3 coupe. All M3 Lightweights are painted Alpine White III (300) and include the following special features:

-Shortened 3.23:1 final drive
-Top speed limiter removed
-Aluminum doors
-Reduced sound insulation
-Stiffer springs
-M shock tower brace
-Forged M Double Spoke wheels (7.5x17-in. front, 8.5x17-in. rear)
-M3 GT front spoiler
-Standard M3 rear spoiler with integrated third brake light
-Chequered flag decals in BMW Motorsport colors on left-front and right-rear corners of bodywork
-"BMW Motorsport International" emblems on exterior door mouldings and interior sill plates
-BMW sport seats with manual adjustments covered in black cloth with red highlights
-Air conditioning delete
-Radio delete
-Tool kit delete
-Console Valet delete
-Carbon fiber-look dash and center console trim

In addition, the following items were listed as special-order options that could be installed by the dealer:
-M3 GT-style adjustable rear spolier (with integrated third brake light)
-Lower chassis X-brace (for added stiffness)
-Upper strut tower brace
-BMW M oil pan and dual-pickup oil pump
-Ride-height adjustable suspension
-Cross-drilled brake rotors
-Adjustable camber plates

Time to bring this back to the top, i found this 1990 BMW Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo. Great performance for the time, this must be great to drive. Anyone else have any more info on this, has anyone drive one before?
