160k Kilometers still low for a 30 year old car. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s still rare and has its value. It depends rather on condition and Service history on older Cars.
I used to have a GT. it was a special machine back in the day, lightweight bonnet (hood) and doors. LSD and that engine which was creamy smooth and loved to rev. I swapped it for M3 Evo after 6 months for £5k profit.
This is my favorite version of the E36, hands down. The color, the homologation story, and the thoughtful upgrades over the standard E36 M3 make this very special.

Just wanted to say thatI appreciate your vids very much. From 2000-2015 I was with one your "little sister" magazines (EC), and also was a US-spec M3 owner from 1997-2011, going through 4 of them. One i never modified, the other went thru Schrick and the other Sunbelt cams (great setup), and one even turbo with over 500whp. This video came perfectly for me because I'm still on the "high" of my acquisition just 3 months ago, a '98 3.2L Evo. I've got the full exh done, and am just waiting for the CSL-style box that should arrive in a month (and I'm done). These cars are just so good, gobs more fun than a US-spec. These cars go through BAT too--if anyone has a shot, I highly recommend! Keep up these great videos!
The listing says it was repainted in 2020, which will hurt value, but since it's EAG they'll want all the money in the world. I'll be watching to see how high this goes.
Yep you see all that orange peel? Its like a really bad Maaco paintjob. It's a super rare car but it has a lot of miles and its a little rough. Serious collectors are'nt going to be interested in it. Will probably sell for a lot but not BAT money. I mean Cars and Bids are where people go who get turned down selling on BAT so I wouldn't doubt if this is one of those cars. It's really sad tbh because its a great car that's been ruined by a horrible paint job.
5:59 "You also have a special plaque on the door sill as you can see. When you open the door it's there; you can't see it when the car's moving, but..." Oh, sure you can! *You just have to open your door while you're driving!* 😂
Why do people still continue to complain about the small side mirrors? As an M-car owner, we do not care about that which is behind us as evidenced by our lack of use of the turn signals. Only care about the road ahead...
Nice review of a super-rare BMW, especially in the US. Kennan will explain that the Euro E36s got individual throttle bodies vs the US model, which explains the crisp throttle response. BMW of North America had not planned to import the E36 M3 until the BMW Club pleaded with lots of letters. Then they built a US model to fit a price point by deleting the expensive bits in the Euro engine. And it was a huge sales success. The E46 M3 did get ITBs for the US market too.
The Euro motor shared nothing with the US motor. They didn’t “delete” the individual throttle bodies or anything else to keep price down. The US motor is a bored out 325 motor. The Euro motor is a completely different design, is an evolution of the S14 and S38 Motorsport engines and is what the S70 V12 McLaren F1 motor is based on
My college roomate’s cousin had one of these, but just the regular E36 version (non M3). Always thought those looked pretty nice. E36 is probably one of my favorite generation of M3 based on looks, lighter weight, more mechanical power train, balance, etc.
Dont get me wrong. We enjoy the super cars, and all the brand new luxury SUVs etc... But we all LOVE when you review older, more regular cars that are obtainable for the normal person. STILL WAITING ON THE 7TH GEN MONTE CARLO SS REVIEW. OR ANY OF THE LS4 CARS ACTUALLY.
Two special features: 1. you could remove the spacers from the spoiler and use them to make the spoiler lower. 2. some M3 GTs were delivered with yellow fog lights, which were later banned in Germany.
US engines have a lot of low and mid range torque. They feel pretty quick in daily driving scenarios, and you can get them up to 280-300 hp with basic engine mods.
That wing was also included with the M3 lightweight that I remember being sold at the BMW dealer I worked at in Atlanta in the late 90s. It came with a large capacity oil sump in the trunk that the owner could choose to have installed for track duty.
I've been in a pretty rare e36. Before the engine was available to import, there was an e36 3 series with all the parts of an M3, but not the engine. Was a great car.
JUST got in my head Doug needs to review an Avanti. Ideally, to do it right, get a 60s Studebaker version and then the 80 Avanti II with square headlights. Talk about Quirky!!!!
Even tho the 335i n54 e93 hard top aint rare, but out of all bmws I have ever driven or modified, it's the most fun hands down. I sold mine and had to buy another one 5 years after. Red interior. Tuned. Parts upgraded. Track hawks hate me.
When scrolling through my videos on my feed, I saw the thumbnail to this video and almost immediately thought that this BMW was some type of early '90s or mid '90s Cosworth- style from the rallying days. I mostly thought that briefly because of that huge Wing on the back of the car.

Racing Green.
I think the origins of British Racing Green in general were from the copious amounts of green paint left over as surplus from WWII.
British Racing Green dates back to 1903. However, all early Land Rover Series Is were green for that reason.
