1992
BMW M3 (E36)

The E36 M3 refined the concept with an all-new 3.0-litre straight-six producing 286 hp (or 321 hp in European Evo spec). Wider body, multi-link rear suspension, and a new double-VANOS variable timing system made it the most technically advanced M3 yet and the choice of European touring car champions.
