The three from the steam room - BMW M3 from E30 to E46

May 18, 2022 — Sven Jürisch 56

In 1986, the first BMW M3, unmistakably a child of its decade with its wide cheeks and rear spoiler, rolled onto the road. The homologation model of the E30 series for the DTM laid the foundation for the legendary sports car dynasty. From this first generation to the more discreet M3 E36 and its successor from the E46 series, the Munich car was constantly refined and underwent major changes. This article tells the story of the three classic M3s and shows the powerful Bavarians in many pictures.

BMW M3 GT - when you want a little more

June 22, 2025 — Bruno von Rotz 59

From 1992 to 1999, BMW built over 70,000 M3s of the E36 series. Within this large production volume, however, a few rarities stand out, one of which is the M3 GT, of which only 356 were built. This driving report explains how this rarity came about and how it feels.
