Highlights
- This BMW features a desirable 5-speed manual transmission.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this BMW’s past. It also indicates that this M3 has been registered in California and Tennessee since 1998.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes the Luxury Package, 17-inch M Contour wheels, a Harman Kardon sound system, and more as detailed below. Notable modifications reported by the seller include an LTW-style rear wing, an aftermarket exhaust, and a front strut tower brace.
- The E36 generation of the iconic BMW M3 was the first M3 powered by an inline-6 engine. Originally, the United States was not slated to get an M3. After owners famously banded together and demanded one be made, BMW brought the M3 to the U.S. market with a de-tuned and simpler engine than the European M3 due to emissions restrictions. It was a major commercial success for BMW, and it cemented the BMW M brand in the U.S.
- Power comes from a 3.2-liter inline-6, rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
