1999 BMW M3 Evolution Convertible


Lot details

Registration No: V373 RYG
Chassis No: WBSBK920X0EX67144
MOT: April 2022

Motor Car Location: Nottinghamshire

  • One of only 25 Carbon black convertible cars that BMW UK commissioned at the end of production of the E36 M3
  • 81,918 miles from new (atoc)
  • E36 Evolution model with six-speed manual Getrag gearbox
  • Offered with book pack including 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 in 1997 and much praised for its benign handling and balance, the E36 was also one of the first mainly computer-designed BMW models.

This M3 was manufactured in 1999, being first UK registered on the 29th of September 1999. One of only 25 M3 Evolution convertibles that were manufactured in Carbon black with complementary Modena leather interior upholstery at the end of the production run for the E36 M3, the BMW is fitted with the 3201cc straight-six engine, mated to the desirable six-speed Getrag gearbox. ‘V373 RYG’ has covered a total of 81,918 miles from new at the time of consignment and has been in current ownership since 2017.

Offered with a black hardtop (albeit not finished in carbon black), the M3 benefits from having been fitted with a new ignition coil pack and spark plugs in 2021. The vendor informs that the M3 was self-serviced approximately fifty miles ago. Accompanied by the book pack which comprises a service book showing five entries; operating instructions manual; owners handbook and supplementary owners handbook, all presented in the original wallet, the M3 convertible is also accompanied by a current V5C. ‘V373 RYG’ will require a new manifold o-ring, the hood has a rip in the material, and one of the soft top arms does not operate.
