Why the BMW E36 is So Desirable

A Brief History

Intro,  E36,  E30 

                                                                                            

The BMW E36 is the third generation of BMW's compact executive automobile 3 Series, which was manufactured from 1990 to 2000 by the German automaker BMW. In subsequent years, the coupe, convertible, wagon, hatchback, and the uncommon four-door convertible were added to the lineup. The E36 was the first BMW 3 Series hatchback. It was also the first 3 Series with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic transmission, and a four-cylinder diesel engine (in the 1996 M3). In comparison to previous generations of the 3 Series, the multi-link rear suspension was a significant improvement. It was not possible to have all-wheel drive.

The majority of BMW E36 owners have modified their cars or have considered doing so. The oldest E36s are nearly three decades old, and a slew of improvements and modifications have been developed expressly for this BMW.

    Top 3 Mods fo BMW M3 E36

  1. For BMW automobiles, Remus creates some of the most incredible exhaust systems. They're a rarity among low-pitched exhaust sounds, producing a burbly, grumble-like, menacingly serious noise.
  2. Some BMW E36 owners replace the basic E36 S50 motor, which produced 282 horsepower before 1995 and 318 horsepower after the facelift, with the S54 338 horsepower E46 M3 motor. If you want to switch the engine in your E36 M3, make sure you're aware of all the laws.
  3. I can't emphasize how costly it is to focus just on horsepower increases and ignore the suspension. The handling of an E36 is traditionally regarded as the most important feature. However, after 20-25 years, these vehicles' suspensions have often failed and they no longer handle as well as they once did.
