1997 BMW E36 M3 Evo 3.2 Manual
HIGHLIGHTS:
Revered as one of BMW M's greatest creations, the E36 M3 Evolution represents the pinnacle of the second-generation M3. Powered by the legendary 3.2-litre S50 straight-six and paired with a manual transmission, the Evo model introduced increased power, enhanced refinement, and sharper dynamics that cemented its reputation as one of the finest driver's cars of its era. With well-preserved, original examples becoming increasingly scarce, the E36 M3 Evo has become a highly sought-after modern classic among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
Finished in its original Estoril Blue Metallic over a neat Black interior, this 1997 BMW E36 M3 Evo 3.2 Manual is a rare example that was imported new and is notably an ex-Royalty car. Presented in highly original condition, it retains its original paint colour, original Vader sports seats, and the iconic original Sunflower alloy wheels. Factory equipment includes a sunroof, smokers pack, front armrest, auto-dimming interior mirror, and CD changer, preserving the authentic character of this increasingly collectible M3.
Benefiting from careful ownership, this M3 Evo remains true to its factory identity while featuring a select few tasteful performance enhancements, including a GruppeM carbon fibre intake and an M strut tower brace. At its heart is the revered S50 engine, renowned for its exhilarating high-revving performance and unmistakable soundtrack, making this an exceptional opportunity to own one of BMW M's most celebrated analogue performance cars.
