In 1995, BMW quietly built the rarest E36 M3 ever \u2014 the Australian-spec M3-R \u2014 a road-legal racing special with just 15 units produced.\u201d <\/strong>BMW made several different versions of the E36 M3 during its roughly seven years of production. The US market exclusively saw the M3 LTW<\/a>, a pared-down and aero\u2019ed-up version that still relied on the tamer US-spec S50 engine. Elsewhere, cool variants like the M3 Evolution got a new six-speed manual and bigger 3.2 liters of displacement \u2014 and, perhaps more remarkably, over 300 horsepower.
