⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Evolution edition of the M3 is one of the highest performance E36 M3 produced.

The E36 generation of the BMW M3 was launched in 1992, promising the premise of a premium coupe with supercar performance. The previous LHD-only E30 generation had laid the groundwork, but the E36 brought along far more comfort and refinement without diluting the appeal. The E36 M3 also offered manageable traction to enhance the balance of power without biting back. Its useability is reinforced by its respectable fuel economy and space for the family. It proved hugely successful, with almost 29,000 M3s produced over its production run. In 1995, the improved Evolution model was launched, now with a new 3.2-litre straight six mated up to a six-speed gearbox. Visually similar to the less powerful version, the Evo model is powered by the S50 B32 engine with variable valve timing (dual-VANOS), an advanced engine management system and lightweight pistons - this placed it as the first BMW production engine to put away over 100bhp per litre. Harnessing that power with upgrades to the suspension and braking system, resulted in the M3 being quicker than a 993 Porsche 911 Carrera.

This very original 1996 car finished in "Metallic Techno Violet" has a grey leather interior, and has had just 3 former keepers. The current owner has had the car for 18 years and has seen over £6,000 worth of maintenance in the last 5 years. It was last serviced in March 2025 and comes with 13 other instances of servicing. Also included is a 1997 bill of sales, two keys, the owner's wallet and an MOT to November 2025.
