Produced along six distinct generations from 1986 through the present, BMW?s brilliant M3 is the company?s legendary road model purpose-built for racing homologation. Victorious in German DTM, British BTCC, and European ETCC touring-car championships from inception in the late 1980s, plus North American IMSA and SCCA competition, the M3 has always defined the wizardry of BMW's racing division, BMW M Motorsport GmbH. BMW?s E36-gernation M3 for 1992-99 was offered in Coupe and Sedan body styles for 1997, supplemented by a range-topping Cabriolet in 1998, with race-derived engineering and electrifying performance in keeping with the hallowed BMW 'M' designation.
Built during January 1997 and retaining its original Cosmos Black paint finish and Gray leather interior, this 1997 BMW M3 Coupe features the driver-preferred ZF Type C 5-speed manual transmission with direct 5
