History of the model
The BMW M3 is a legendary sports car. Since its introduction in 1986 with the M3 E30, it has made a lasting impression. This first model, powered by a 4-cylinder, 2.3-liter, 200-horsepower engine, was designed for competition, but was also formidable on the road. The M3 E30 was a great success, selling 18,000 units. In 1992, the M3 was upgraded to the E36 generation, with a 3.0 L, 6-cylinder engine developing 286 hp. This version brings greater versatility and aims to compete with the likes of Porsche and Ferrari, at a more affordable cost.
The M3 E36 also introduced special editions such as the M3 GT, and in 1996, engine power was increased to 326 hp. In 2000, BMW launched the M3 E46 with a 3.2 L, 6-cylinder engine producing 343 hp. A special feature of this generation is the motorsport-derived SMG 2 gearbox, with paddle shifters for quicker gear changes. The M3 E46 is praised for its balance, agility and comfort on the road, making the M3 an icon of sports cars, and more specifically of youngtimers today.
