  • One of only 25 ‘Carbon Black Edition’ convertible cars that BMW UK commissioned at the end of production of the E36 M3
  • Low mileage example with just 40,524 miles from new (atoc)
  • Desirable six-speed manual transmission
  • Offered with a large history file including a stamped service book

Debuting at the Paris Show in 1992, the second generation E36 platform-based M3 was the first to feature a straight-six engine, initially displacing 2990cc before enlargement to 3201cc in 1995. However, this larger power unit did not become available in the convertible model (which had been introduced in 1994) until 1996. The 3.2-litre cars were marketed as Evolution models by BMW GB to distinguish them from the earlier 3-litre models. Produced at the Regensburg factory, a total of around 2,107 BK92 (right-hand drive European specification) convertibles were built between February 1996 and July 1999. Recognised as being one of the best handling cars of that decade when tested by Car & Driver magazine in 1997, and much praised for its benign handling and balance, the E36 was also one of the first mainly computer-designed BMW models.

One of only 25 ‘Carbon Black Edition’ convertible M3s that BMW UK commissioned at the end of production of the E36 M3, here we have a low mileage example with just 40,524 miles from new (atoc). Supplied new by BMW Heathrow Limited, West Drayton, Middlesex, this M3 Evolution has the desirable six-speed manual transmission offering that extra driver involvement. Presented in Carbonschwarz Metallic paint, the contrasting Modena leather interior provides for an opulent cabin with 'M3' logo sill plates protecting against entry scuffs and the BMW Business RDS radio cassette player providing the soundtrack for your drive. Side impact airbags are a further safety feature inside. In 2006, the M3 received a replacement engine, fitted by BMW North Oxford at 21,336 miles. Offered with a large history file, comprising numerous previous invoices and an original order form, a stamped service book, handbook and a wallet with original BMW cards. MOT documents going back to 2002 are included, a copy of the 2013 book 'BMW M3: The Complete History of These Ultimate Driving Machines' by Graham Robson, as are copies of previous logbooks, and current V5C.
