BMW E36 M3 Evolution 1997 |
The BMW E36 M3 debuted in February 1992 and was the first M3 powered by a straight six engine, originally a 3.0 litre producing 282bhp. Initially available as a coupé only, BMW introduced the M3 convertible and saloon versions in 1994. With the absence of any M5 models between the end of 1995 and the launch of the E39 M5 in 1998, this prompted the introduction of a four-door 'Motorsport' model to join the range.
In 1995, the M3 coupé and saloon were upgraded to the 316bhp 3.2 litre engines and known as Evolution versions. At the same time the cars received clear indicator lenses, new wheels and a 6-speed gearbox. The E36 M3 chassis was touted as one of the best handling cars of the 90's in independent tests and known for its benign handling and balance, with the car also popular amongst circuit racers and track enthusiasts.
