The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3-Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M. The BMW M3 remains the only car ever to have earned more titles than the venerable Porsche 911 in Motorsport, and also is the most successful touring, and grand touring car ever to have participated in racing.
The first E36 M3 to be imported to the United States was the 1995 model, which used the S50B30US engine with 240 bhp (179 kW; 243 PS) and 305 N·m (225 lb·ft), a different suspension setup and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time in about six seconds. It was available with five-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
The 1996–1999 model years had displacement bumped up to 3.2 litres, still with 240 bhp (179 kW; 243 PS), but torque increases to 320 N·m (240 lb·ft) which is the same S52B32US engine used in the early M Roadster and M Coupe. It was also available as a saloon starting in model year 1997, and as convertible in 1998. Production of the saloon was halted in 1998, while the other models continued until 1999.
US sales figures include a total of 18,961 coupés, 7,760 saloons and 6,211 convertibles.
All late model M3s received subframe re-inforcements and more aggressive front end suspension geometry due to the differences in caster and camber yielded by top hat design and lower control arm bushings.

This Alpine White over Black Leather 1998 BMW E36 M3 was completed at the factory on June 25th, 1998. It was delivered new to the USA and spent it’s early life in Houston, Texas. It has had four owners from new. The first of which, we believe purchased this M3 at Intercontinental BMW in Houston. He later moved to Vancouver, BC and imported the car with him in February of 2004. In 2007 it was sold to a lady living in Victoria, BC. She kept the car about 2011 when it was sold to another lady in Victoria. Earlier this year I bought this M3 from the third owner. It is showing just 113,681 original miles and is barely broken in! Recent service work is documented in a file with the car. It is ready to get in and go.
The seats look more faded in the photographs than they actually are. It was VERY bright out when I took the photos. I’m happy to take some additional photos if anyone would like to see them. The car has been detailed extensively by a professional who works exclusivley on high-end cars. The process took two days and included a three-stage polish.
