The E36 is like the middle child that contributes a lot to the family, but nobody really talks about. I'm not a big BMW fan but I think it's one of the best cars of its time.

This is perhaps the most beautiful looking E36 M3 of all. That bodywork, that wing, those wheels and most importantly that green paint! It's quite a looker!

The E36 M3 is my favourite generation of the M3. Quite underrated but it is just perfect in my eyes.

As an E36 M3 owner it's hard to find good honest reviews on them. Thank you for producing this, well done folks and keep up the good work.

As a previous E36 M3 owner, (1995 US spec) and having owned 3 other BMW's since, I can honestly say, that it was by far the best handling, braking, sounding BMW of the lot. Perfect weight distribution and awesome brakes. I loved that car. Loved the stealthy sound and power band loved to rev! Inline 6 was the best ever! No problems ever.

One of the best looking m3s IMO. Clean yet purposeful, especially in that green.

enthusiast love for all things M3 related! these content series are just fabulous.

Lighter then an e46, more comfortable then an e30.

I had a 1997 E36 M3 and I loved it. What a great car to drive on the back roads!

My neighbor just had his red E36 M3 out yesterday. It's got vader seats and that same wing. The thing is perfect

This is the most perfect bmw ever made in my opinion, you can't beat the look of the e36 with the vador seats and the suede inserts and carbon fiber bits and pieces, remember this car is pre 2000's so carbon fiber was only on super high end supercars back then 🔥🔥

Great to see the GT reviewed! I own one since 2002 and really love it.

The E36 is essentially an E30 for grown-ups. In the post-facelift version you had a naturally aspirated 3.2 that produced more than 100 HP per liter. Very few production cars at the time (late 90's) would go that far, like the F355. And it was not a compromised daily, it had a decent sized trunk and actually usable back seats.

All it needs is poly bushes, later 3.2 E36 M3 front top hats swapped left to right for 2.5degrees of negative front camber, and align about 1.5degrees of rear camber, close to zero front and half a degree rear toe in, after that coil-overs if needed. She’ll handle like a dream with almost all stock parts.

I wanted to have a life like that guy in the video, testing cars, making videos showing his impressions, it must be really good, the best part is obviously driving these cars

[MaxSpeedMike]

The e36 is such a raw car. One of the best produced by bmw

[ringbimmer]

Its still great fun at the track. It was 10 years ahead of its time

[nicpn]

Nice timepiece Henry! Oh and the video was great too 😊

[samspargo]

I'm absolutely loving the attention to detail with regards to the various model specifics Henry, you've done your homework!

[joefattal]

Great vid. Nothing can beat that straight six sound, I remember driving my friends ltd Edition E36 M3 R as I’m in Aus and that car has never been forgotten.
