BMW E36 M3 Coupé (1996)
Kickdown's Take
by Art GeorgesThis 1996 E36 M3 Coupé is finished in Estoril Blue with black leather—one of the most harmonious color combinations in the model series. The coveted 3.2-liter inline-six engine, producing 321 PS, runs smoothly, and the registered KW coilover suspension rounds out the package. The E36 M3 has long been considered a modern classic with stable resale value and appeals to BMW enthusiasts looking for a well-maintained six-cylinder.

Comments of this past auction
Wieso wurde der Wagen bereits letzten Oktober von einem anderen Verkäufer mit dem gleichen Kilometerstand hier verkauft? Dort steht, dass der Wagen auch tatsächlich verkauft wurde. Nun wurde das Gebot vom gleichen "Bieter" zwei Mal über diesen Preis erhöht. Aufklärung zu dieser Situation wäre schön, da das alles sehr komisch wirkt. Liebe Grüße

Technik: Der M3 E36 hatte einen speziell für den M3 entwickelten (später auch im Z3 M verwendeten) und damals hochmodernen Hochdrehzahl-Reihensechszylinder (BMW S50) mit zuerst 2990 cm³ Hubraum, vier Ventilen pro Zylinder, 2 obenliegenden Nockenwellen, Einzeldrosselklappeneinspritzung und Fächerkrümmer. Er leistete 210 kW (286 PS) bei 7280 min−1 und hatte bereits die variable Nockenwellensteuerung VANOS (an Einlass- und Auslassnockenwelle, im Gegensatz zum Serienmotor M50, der nur die Einlasswelle verstellen konnte). Das maximale Drehmoment betrug 320 Nm bei 3600 min−1. Insgesamt war der S50B30 damit 1992 hochmodern und mit 70,2 kW pro Liter Hubraum ein Seriensaugmotor mit einer der höchsten Literleistungen weltweit (Honda hatte bereits 1991 im Civic VTi 74 kW pro Liter Hubraum erreicht.) Die gegenüber den Serienmodellen der BMW AG erheblich gestiegene Motorleistung des neuen M3 verlangte nach einer Überarbeitung des Fahrwerks und der Bremsanlage. LG Tom
