The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1995 BMW M3
*** NO RESERVE *** A rare four-door salon in unmodified condition.
Registration - M577 EYG
Chassis No. - WBSCB92080EW30143
M.O.T. - No
Odometer - 116,000
This radiant 1995 E36 BMW M3 is the rare and enthusiast-pleasing four-door saloon, rather than the more familiar two-door coupe or convertible. It is finished in gleaming red with a black nappa leather interior. It has original wood fascia décor and even a period Sony stereo. The first BMW M3 to use a six-cylinder engine, the 3.0-litre S50 produces 286bhp and is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The vendor has owned the car for 10 years and confirms it will go into the workshop for a full inspection prior to sale.
Records show that ‘M577EYG’ was recorded as a Category C write-off in December 2005, but it returned to the road after being fully repaired for many more years of motoring, before being laid up in 2014. Today, the vendor describes the engine, transmission, bodywork and paintwork as being in ‘excellent’ condition, while electrics and interior are in ‘good’ condition. The odometer currently reads 117,000 miles and the car is, in its unmodified condition, becoming a rarity.
The BMW E36 M3 was the much-anticipated follow-up to the legendary original BMW E30 M3. It swapped a motorsport-honed four-cylinder engine for a sonorous and silky-smooth six-cylinder, which boasted high-tech VANOS variable camshaft adjustment. Aero-tuned bodywork and elaborate M-specific door mirrors set it apart from regular 3 Series, as did the lowered suspension and M alloy wheels. Inside, glorious hip-hugging M sports seats were standard, while the instruments gained red needles in a subtle nod to the M-tuned engine up front.
In summary:
- Unmodified original E36 BWM M3
- Desirable four-door saloon version
