1997 BMW Euro E36 M3

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1997 BMW E36 M3 Euro/ROW six-speed coupe. This M3 was recently imported from Japan and is a very nice example with 114,000 kilometers (70,000 miles). It is finished in Dakar Yellow over black leather Vaders. It remains in mostly stock and unmolested condition -- an aftermarket head unit and exhaust are the only observed modifications.

Obviously what makes this car so desirable is the S50B32 engine and six-speed manual transmission -- something we never got in the North American market, and good for an additional 80 horsepower over a US-spec E36 M3. Other subtle but unique differences on this Japanese-market E36 include factory wood trim on the upper door panels, keys with integrated keyless entry, glass headlights with height adjustment switch, clear corner lights and the inclusion of a warning triangle and first aid kit.

Factory 17-inch Style 39 wheels are wearing matching Falken tires with good tread remaining. Condition overall is very good; it is obvious that this example has been well cared for and garaged throughout its life. We believe the Dakar Yellow paint to be original and the finish is excellent over a damage- and corrosion-free body. Exterior rubbers and trim are also excellent. The interior shows only light wear and the leather seating surfaces remain supple.

This M3 runs and drives great; it pulls noticeably harder than a US S52-powered example. An extensively stamped service book (in Japanese), both keys, books, tools and matching spare are included. Late (9/97) production. Clear Georgia title and import documentation. This M3 is located in our Savannah facility. Only recently eligible for import, there are very few Euro-spec late E36 M3s in the US.
