General BMW E36 Information

When introduced in 1990, E36 was big step for 3 series. Earlier E21 and E30 models were very similar in looks but E36 was radically different with is sleek and aerodynamic body, even the entry level 316i with 100 hp could obtain almost 200 km/h top speed.

E36 Sedan was first to be available from the launch followed by Coupe in 1992, Convertible in 1993, Compact 1994 and Touring 1995. Legendary M3 was made public in 1992 in Paris, boasting 286 hp from 3,0 liter straight six engine, a radical change from previous M3's straight four.

BMW E36 318is Coupe. 140 horsepower from 1.8l 16-valve inline four engine was not a bad show in early 90's! This car has M-technic body kit. Nice!

This is a E36 US M3 CSL with lightened body and 240 hp 3,0l 24-valve inline six. I like those decals! They are actually available from US based Turner Motorsport. Maybe they are *bit* too flashy on ordinary everyday car?

E36 M3 Engine, a masterpiece.

Current E46 3 series is very similar to E36, it is only bit more rounded.
