Description

KEY FACTS This E36-generation BMW M3 is an ever-popular and rewarding modern classic performance hero, presented with a distinctive factory colour scheme.

Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre ‘S50’ inline-six, delivering around 286bhp to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

First registered in August 1994, this example has been with the seller for just over a year and a half.

The odometer shows 133,444 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This E36-era M3 is finished in the stylish hue of Daytona Violet Metallic, over a black cabin featuring contrasting Dove Grey leather upholstery, ‘Vader’ front seats, and M-Sport tricolour seat accents.

It rides on a set of 17-inch ‘Style 22’ alloy wheels fitted with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 tyres.

Equipment includes a heated rear screen, a black leather-trimmed sports steering wheel, dual-zone air conditioning, an on-board computer, electric front windows, folding rear seats, and push-out rear windows.
