BMW M3 (E36) Model History
Introduced in the early 1990s, the E36 M3 marked a major evolution of BMW’s Motorsport philosophy. Moving away from the homologation roots of the E30, the E36 focused on refined performance, improved comfort and broader appeal, while still delivering serious driving engagement. The later 3.2-litre models introduced increased power, a 6-speed manual gearbox and further chassis refinements, cementing the E36 M3’s reputation as one of the most usable and well-rounded performance coupes of its era. Today, the E36 M3 is increasingly appreciated for its naturally aspirated character, analogue driving feel and classic BMW design.
