Introduced in 1995, the Evolution version of the E36-generation BMW M3 represented a significant step forward for the marque’s benchmark performance coupé. Powered by the legendary 3.2 litre ‘S50’ straight-six, producing 321bhp and paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the M3 Evolution delivered sharper performance alongside a suite of chassis and mechanical upgrades. These included revised suspension, increased front caster for improved stability, stronger wheel hubs and a quicker steering rack, all contributing to a more focused and engaging driving experience.
This particular example was first registered in May 1997 and is finished in Cosmos Black, complemented by a striking BMW Individual Saffron leather interior. The cabin is further enhanced by desirable ‘Vader’ sports seats with M-coloured detailing, creating a distinctive and highly sought-after specification. The car sits on its correct 17-inch ‘sunflower’ alloy wheels, shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, and benefits from subtle upgrades including an AC Schnitzer exhaust, JBL subwoofer hidden away in the boot and a retro-style Blaupunkt Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB head unit with Bluetooth connectivity.
The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file including its original owner’s manuals, service book, toolkit, a Cover Zone Voyager car cover and a collection of invoices and MoT test certificates dating back to 2000. Maintenance has been thorough and consistent, with recent works including a full-service incorporating Inspection I and II and a coolant change in November 2025 at 78,709 miles. Earlier servicing has been carried out by recognised specialists, with significant preventative maintenance undertaken over the years. The car’s most recent MoT test certificate, completed in September 2025 at 78,625 miles, resulted in a first-time pass with no advisories.
Having also formed part of The Continental Performance Collection, this well-presented and highly usable M3 Evolution represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an increasingly collectible modern classic. Consigned by Fraser Smith
