The Original Roots: The BMW 3 Series (E36)
The BMW 3 Series (E36) belongs to the third generation of the BMW 3 Series and was built from 1990 to 2000. This generation of the 3 Series model followed the successful E30 and brought numerous technical innovations and improvements, making it a milestone in the history of midsize vehicles. The design of the BMW 3 Series (E36) was created by the team led by Claus Luthe and Boyke Boyer, responsible for the clear and dynamic appearance. The sleek headlights and the iconic kidney grille are particularly noticeable and give the vehicles their distinctive look. Equipped with advanced features like the ASC+T (Automatic Stability Control and Traction) system, the BMW 3 Series (E36) significantly enhanced driving safety. The model was available as a sedan, coupe, convertible, and touring, appealing to a wide range of customers.
Technical Data and Original Features
The BMW 3 Series (E36) model stood out with a wide range of engines. The base models featured four-cylinder engines, while the top models were equipped with six-cylinder engines. One of the most renowned engines was the M50, a 2.5-liter in-line six-cylinder producing 192 horsepower. Additionally, there was a diesel version with the M51 engine, which was relatively unconventional for this vehicle class at that time. The vehicles also came with a fully synchronized gearbox, providing a pleasant driving experience. In the debut year, 1990, significant political events like the reunification of Germany and the release of songs like Madonna's "Vogue" took place. These examples help understand the age and historical context of the vehicle.
