Those who have had the privilege of seeing this car in person don't just admire it-they proclaim it to be the coolest M3 they've ever encountered. This is no ordinary E36.
This 1995 BMW M3 was special-ordered as a BMW Individual model, then sent to Alpina for exclusive enhancements before being delivered through BMW's European Delivery Program to its original owner. It began life as a U. S.-spec car, but that's where "spec" ends and "special" begins.
From the first glance, it's clear that this M3 is in a league of its own. The special-order Grey Metallic paint is completely original, untouched, and flawless-a true testament to its preservation. Inside, the breathtaking BMW Motorsports interior features an ultra-rare combination of black cloth and Alcantara suede, accented with BMW M Individual details and striking red carbon fiber trim.
Every inch of this car exudes exclusivity. It boasts red Motorsports seat belts, red M carbon fiber trim, M door sills and guards, an M illuminated shift knob, a Euro passenger-side mirror, a full onboard computer, power rear wing windows, rear seat headrests, a rear sunshade, and dual under-seat fire extinguishers. It rides on extremely rare staggered M3 GT forged aluminum wheels, with a factory Motorsports strut brace adding to its performance pedigree.
Alpina's enhancements push this M3 even further. A bespoke digital gauge panel provides real-time monitoring of engine oil pressure and temperature, differential oil temperature, and coolant temperature. A finned aluminum differential cover adds both style and function, while factory Alpina floor mats complete the package.
Every known E36 M3 weak point has been addressed by the best BMW technicians in the country, ensuring this car remains mechanically flawless. The original exhaust was removed for Steve Dinan's performance modifications, then Jet-Hot aluminum-coated from the headers to the tips before being reinstalled. It now sits on like-new Michelin Pilot Sport tires, ready to deliver the razor-sharp handling that defines the M3 experience.
To preserve its immaculate condition, paint protection film has been applied to all high-wear areas, ensuring its pristine finish remains untouched.
With its stunning originality, factory-backed rarity, and Alpina's expert craftsmanship, this is more than just a remarkable E36-it may very well be the ultimate factory U. S.-spec M3 ever built.
