This is what the E36 M3 should of looked like from the factory 👌

I own a E36 M3 Evolution, Currently recommissioning it love them people are only starting to realise how good they are now!

CLS stands for : Coupé Lightweight Silhouette. The exhaust is original. The seats are not. ACS has built several types, mostly distinguished by type I and II. I personally have never seen such an underbody panel on a E36.

Rarer than the Alpinas! Beautiful and more deeply modified by a competitive Motorsport Team!

I love the DTM style exhaust. Reminds me of simpler times.

This car was just shy of £70k when new. That's double what a standard M3 evo cost at the time so it's no surprise not many were made. The conversion was completed by Rossiters BMW in the UK when new.

Now that’s a rare car. A proper Schnitzer. I think I have a sales brochure for it. I think the wide arches are all aluminium

My daughter has red E30 318is , I love it its good on fuel and quick as well .Your new shop is very nice very bright and space .

this is the better brand for bmw in the 90s the sedan was awesome the 325 siluette

Great to have you back, awesome post, thank you sir 👍

What a find!

I am currently restoring a S3 Sport CLS, but it is much more complete than the car you showed.

That steering wheel is factory facelift m3 one,the other one is nice but is non airbag version more like for e30.overall that car is amazing.

Saw a darker blue (Avus?) at Bicester Scramble earlier this year. It was stunning

Think they have aluminium light weight doors aswell try putting a magnetic on them to see if it sticks then you will know..

tnx for the video

Given the rarity of this car and the amount of underside work it needs, I would have sent it to Redish Motorsport to restore that first then given it to you for all the mechanicals. Regardless, very cool bit of history. @J B the underpanel was standard for evos (i.e., S50B32 models).

amazing!

They are Schnitzer Cup mirrors. Last set I had for an E36 went to Florida!

I know there's two in the USA there's one dakar yellow cls and one apline white both US spec M3s

This car is beyond rare.... its too bad someone decided to ditch the ac bitts and put the hodge podge under the car. The plastic under tray looks similar to something fitted to the very first few e36 m3 light weights sold in the US. The first couple cars that came over were displayed with similar. Most of the North American lightweights were sold with parts in the trunk, sub frame brace an oil pan etc. Claimed they were nit street legal? BMW motorsport had sent a couple cars to Millner Motorsport? they were prepped by BMW NA put on display , pretty sure that was a oem motorsport rarity ............ anyway super car thanks for sharing I had forgotten about this car glad to see one is still alive!

When i bought my E36 325i it was a replica of this on this outside, minus the boxy rear fenders. It had fiberglass front fenders. Lots of shortcuts taken, kind of a hackjob. I took it back to regular mtech stuff. I wasn't into the ACS look, it was dated and cheesy at the time and not appreciated in the same way it is today.

14 ACS E36 M3 CLS`s were produced. 11LHD & 3RHD (UK spec) cars. Not 7 or 8. Were double the price of a regular E36 M3 at the time. This one was stripped of all the goodies if its an original car to start with (1 of those 3 RHD cars), which i doubt. Missing front bumper with spoiler and splitter, dash, seats, carbon intake, just to name a few, off the bat like this... So, it's either a fake, or a butchered original car...

Very nice motor, Would look great if underside was dry ice cleaned.

I’d give my first born for this kit on my Estoril coupe. Echoing others, the car should’ve came that way from the factory.

👌😎👍

Bummer that it’s not a slicktop! This would have been great specially on a CLS M3… Neither less very rare model

How much they made from this ?

@11:17 what you get with straight and what with excentric rubber ? I mean whats the diference when you install it on the car ?

06:01 have you checked your phone too? 😀

Did you keep the red bmw

Most people went as far as buying the pedals and stopped

Spoiler?

$100,000 easy
