1996 BMW 328i Coupé E36 M-Sport

BMW's third generation of the 3 series, the E36, was built between 1990 and 2000. The development started already 9 years earlier, in 1981 and the design was handled by Pinky Lai, known for having designed several models for both Ford and Porsche. The model first came in a 4-door sedan and was followed up with a combi, coupe, cabriolet and compact body.
The car has been praised for both its safety and driving pleasure. The American magazine Car & Driver has had the model up as a winner on several occasions during the model's manufacturing life. The 1993 British Touring Car Championship was won by Joachim Winkelhock driving a BMW E36. BMW was also the first in the world to win the 24-hour race with a diesel engine. It was done by a BMW 320D and the year of the win was 1998.
