E36 M3 GT listed for sale in Australia

I am in no way affiliated with it, but would you get more for it back in the UK? The GT was a UK marketing exercise.

Advert looks ok but Punchbowl is the dodgiest of the dodge areas.

Wish I still had my E36 M3 GT now - manufacture number 0001 - swapped it for another track day focused E36 M3 GT in Germany - think it is in the BMW museum now

That was a nice car Tim

I doubt it. Particularly given that the RHDs don’t appear to be ‘proper’ GTs. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1171227

This. There was the true run of GT cars, LHD only, and the UK got 50 RHD cars that were cosmetically identical, but didn't have the engine upgrades. So you can run the VINs, and they appear genuine, but they're not quite the full fat homologation specials. The Aussie one is a former UK car.

This explains the difference in the cars if you dig around a bit

Both the GTs I had were LHD .
I swapped 0001 for an M3 GT which was a race/road car which Black Falcon raced in the VLN series - at the time I think EVO Magazine chap called Jethro Bovingdon trying to crack sub 8 mins in an M3 E36 GT - I think his car was a RHD - this is a full lap no Bridge to Gantry - The car I swapped achieved this (not with me driving ) great times back then pre Top Gear -less traffic at the Nordscliefe

Thats an informative sales pitch, thanks for that.

It does look blimmin' fantastic.
Never seen one in the wild. Have seen one of the Imola Individual E36 M3 GTs we had in GB, but it does not have the kudos of the left hookers of course.

The GT rear spoilers (copies) seem all the rage at the moment.

I remember driving that car at Spa. Didn’t we get under 2.50 with a passenger on road tyres? That was the same day that we were getting 2.47 with a 996RS and the M3 CSL was lapping at 2.49. The BMW was beautifully balanced and lovely to drive. The 6RS was a lot less forgiving

Very true Steve - I really miss those days
