BMW M3 GT Coupé (E36) no. 189

Background

In 1994 BMW introduced this homologation special as a limited European edition, specially built to compete in the FIA ​​GT Championships. The BMW M3 GT Coupé was equipped with a 295 hp 3.0L inline 6 with 323 Nm and went from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. This was achieved by using the throttle bodies of the 3.2L, special camshafts and a higher compression ratio. Only 356 of the E36 M3 GT were built, all in British Racing Green color and built in 1995. Furthermore, this model distinguishes itself from regular E36 M3 models by an adjustable front splitter, a double spoiler on the tailgate with optional mounting blocks, the use of aluminum doors, forged rims and a different adjustment of the ABS system. The interior is always grey Alcantara in combination with walk nappa Mexico green leather. The carbon details such as the center console, dashboard cover and the door sills, you only found in the E36 M3 GT. The E36 M3 GT weighs about 30 kilograms less than a regular E36 M3 and the top speed is 275 kilometers per hour. The sprinting qualities of the E36 M3 GT can still enthuse drivers today, that normally aspirated 6-cylinder engine with a unique driving feel that is missing in the latest generation of performance cars. The lack of electronic driver assistance systems also sharpens the mind. Man and machine in perfect harmony.
