Enormously powerful and innovative, extremely rare and available in just one colour: The BMW M3 GT E36 is one of the most fascinating sports cars of its era. - M

In 1994, BMW introduced the M3 GT as a limited-edition racing homologation special for the European market, designed to compete in the FIA-GT Class II, IMSA GT, and international endurance races. A total of 356 units were produced, all in left-hand drive, Only available for mainland Europe.

This high-performance coupé was exclusively offered in a single color: BMW’s iconic British Racing Green (paint code 312). The exterior was complemented by a refined interior featuring Amaretta sports seats upholstered in Mexico Green Nappa leather, and high-quality carbon fibre trim.

Each of the 356 cars produced, including five pre-production models, can be easily recognized by this distinct paintwork. Further distinguishing the M3 GT were custom front and rear spoilers, Aluminium doors, aerodynamically optimised mirrors, and M double-spoke forged aluminium wheels—measuring 7.5J x 17" at the front and 8.5J x 17" at the rear—that were exclusive to this edition. These wheels were fitted with 235/40 ZR17 tires.

Under the bonnet, the M3 GT retained the powerful S50B30 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, Technical highlights included six individual throttle bodies and BMW’s newly developed VANOS variable camshaft timing system. Resulting in 295 hp.

This particular car was originally delivered new by BMW Munich to a Mr. H. Grunke, an orderly man who always kept his M3 very well maintained, as evidenced by the service book and invoices from that time. The car remained in his ownership until 2003, when it was sold and imported to Sweden by a Mr. N. Brundin. During the first seven years of his ownership, he drove the car frequently, adding approximately 35,000 km to the odometer. Like the previous owner, he consistently ensured that the car was properly maintained and regularly serviced. Between 2010 and 2022, it remained stationary for the majority of the time, always kept in a warm garage. The current owner, a Stockholm-based car collector, acquired the car in September 2022 and has since only driven it sparingly, conducting a service at an authorised BMW dealer in June 2024, before leaving the car to us.

As part of our standard procedure for all our cars, MOTIKON conducted a mechanical test on the vehicle and addressed every issue identified, ensuring the car presents as well mechanically as it does cosmetically.

With the market starting to wake up to modern classic sports cars of the 90s, the prices of limited edition models like the M3 GT are poised to continue rising. A recently serviced, relatively low-mileage example with only three owners, like the car we have here, is becoming increasingly difficult to find, as some quick research on various automotive marketplaces will prove. Included in the sale is the service book, BMW literature, and a folder containing various invoices and inspection papers. A full list of completed work, along with history, pictures, and videos, can be provided upon interest. Do not hesitate to get in touch.
