Debuting at the Paris Show in 1992, the second generation E36 platform based M3 was the first to feature a straight-six engine, initially displacing 2990cc before enlargement to 3201cc in 1995. However, this larger power unit did not become available in the convertible model (which had been introduced in 1994) until 1996. The 3.2-litre cars were marketed as Evolution models by BMW GB to distinguish them from the earlier 3-litre models. Produced at the Regensburg factory, a total of around 2,107 BK92 (right-hand drive European specification) convertibles were built between February 1996 and July 1999. Recognised as being one of the best handling cars of that decade when tested by Car & Driver in 1997 and much praised for its benign handling and balance, the E36 was also one of the first mainly computer-designed BMW models.
Manufactured in 1998, this M3 was supplied new to the UK and sold through Stephen James BMW, being registered new in March that year. Finished in Techno Violet Metallic with Light Grey upholstery, featuring wood trim and Vader Seats, with a hood trimmed in Black. Fitted with the desirable six-speed Getrag gearbox, the BMW has covered a total of 80,398 miles (atoc) from new. The BMW has been in current ownership for twelve years and has five former keepers.
Offered for sale with book pack that comprises Owners Handbook; Service Guide; RDS Operating Manual and stamped Warranty and Service Book in the original wallet. The Service Book shows fourteen stamps (including pre-delivery inspection and brake fluid changes) including eight from BMW dealers and a further four from specialists. The M3 benefits from being provided with a reconditioned gearbox in 2016 costing approximately £830.
Accompanied by a history file containing a large collection of past invoices relating to service and works, numerous previous MOT certificates and current V5C.
