Ordered for the Italian market, the slick-top coupe is as impressive on the inside as it is out. Black leather “Vader” style seats with the BMW M stripes and a leather steering wheel with deviated M stitching were optioned. Contrasting wooden trim completes the center console and the gear shifter. The car has also been specified with the Double Spoke Type II Wheels completing a beautiful specification.

While the E36 was available in the United States from 1995 to 1999, the European specification, released in 1992, featured differences resulting in a more desirable vehicle. The North American market received the 3.0L engine producing 240 horsepower, paired to a five-speed gearbox. In late 1995, BMW provided an upgrade to the M3 with increased displacement for the European models to the 3.2L producing 321 horsepower at 7,400 RPM and 258 lb-ft of torque, and mated to the new six-speed manual. The Euro E36 debuted an upgraded Double VANOS, a new innovation allowing for variable timing on both the intake and camshaft optimizing power and torque.
