In today’s video, we’re going over this truly gorgeous 1998 E36 BMW M3! This E36 came into BMW of Morristown for service, and the owner, Ryan, was generous enough to let us film a video with it! The E36 is the second generation M3, which was sold throughout the late 90’s in the U.S. It was available as a coupe, convertible, or sedan, as seen here. This particular E36 is finished in iconic Estoril Blue Metallic, over a Hazelnut leather interior. The U.S. E36 M3, which differed greatly from the European version, made 240hp out of a 3.0L S50 or 3.2L S52 inline 6, depending on model year. This E36 is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels only. Thanks so much to Ryan for letting us check out his E36!

I’ll chime in a little. I’m an E36 M3/4/5 owner of 13 years. This car does everything well. Haul groceries, drop off kids and spirited drives. Ultra reliable, easy maintenance, ultra smooth manual trans and beautiful torque curve. It does 0-60 in 5.6 and pulls hard and handles like it’s on rails. I love it so much I also bought a rare techno violet coupe. Just an amazing all around machine.

You need to drive one, they retain the sorta rawness the e30 has and seat off the pants feel the e46 offers up to about 5k rpm (1-3rd gear). Very satisfying, my favorite generation. E90 and 46 are tied 2nd.

Would love to! Driving impression always seem to be positive, and what you described sounds like a fantastic recipe. Perhaps we'll try to get behind the wheel of one in the future.

Geez this thing is so clean and brings back memories when I was a young poor student lusting over this off eBay. Great overview, coupled with interesting details, good job 👍

Great video and information on this car. I owned an E36 M3 sedan in Techno Violet. I had no idea about the history of the car needing to be cheaper in the US market back in the day.

Great Video!, Hi-Fi switch will give you a more "spicier" soundstage from the hk amp

Beautiful car and color!!! Would you kindly tell me what blue eatoril you use? The 335 or B45 ? Thanks

@bmwofmorristown9038 Жыл бұрын

I believe the paint code for the original Estoril Blue is 335, and B45 is for Estoril Blue II that has been used more recently.

Its hilarious bmw wouldn't give you full m cars. Even still you get watered down versions. And you never got the special editions like the gt and gt2.

@bmwofmorristown9038 10 ай бұрын

Since the E36, with a few exceptions, the US gets all the good, top trim M cars. And the fact that we, and no one else, got manual versions of the E60 and F10 M5s, makes up for anything we missed :)

It was all based on economics of the time. And the us spec is absolutely fantastic. Don't get it twisted . All road going iterations of the e36 AND E46 are slow by modern standards. So that's a moot point in 2024

It’s Ana amazing torquey drive. Have drive Porsche 911, E46 M3 (S54) and S2000. While the Porsche is amazing and great car, my favorite to drive all the time is the E36. Ultra reliable engine (In 13 years and 130k miles have never cracked open the case) and easy to repair. Love the US M3.
