All 356 cars were produced in British Racing Green and featured the stunning black Alcantara seats with Mexico green leather inserts with stitched in leather Motorsport stripes to the corners of the seats. The car featured carbon-fibre interior panels and it should be remembered that this was still space age material and rarely seen back in 1995.

The BMW Motorsport International badge was fitted inside above the glove box and to both exterior door moulding strips. More importantly, GT spoilers were installed front and rear.  Aerodynamics could be changed by extending the front spoiler lower blade in and out to suit, whilst the height of the rear spoiler could be increased by approximately 90mm with two special spoiler spacers packed in the boot. 17” BMW Motorsport wheels were fitted with 7.5” front and wider 8.5” rims on the rear. The brakes remained standard E36 M3 but the suspension was tweaked with Motorsport uprated springs and shocks.

Under the engine bay there was little visible difference except for the fitment of the very nicely engineered Motorsport strut brace.  These proper GTs were then fitted with a modified engine for homologation purposes.  Higher lift 264-degree camshafts were installed with remapped engine and Vanos software.

The sump was changed to accommodate a modified and enhanced oil pump with dual pickups.  Power rose to 295 bhp. A shorter ratio limited slip differential was used at 3.23-1 and the top speed limit removed giving a staggering top speed of 171 MPH. Finally, a small amount of weight saving was achieved by using alloy doors

The car is totally original and unmodified in anyway. 100% accident free and retaining all original panels with no structural corrosion.  We shall be preparing the car to as new condition for the lucky next owner.

We will take a deposit for the car and she will pass through our workshop for an extraordinary level of cosmetic, age related mechanical and future proofing work, ensuring show condition and utter usability with total reliability without irritating age-related surprises.

Below is listed a summary of the work being carried out:

Carry out bare-metal respray of complete car. Reassemble car with new seals, gaskets and trim as required, sill trims, badges, arch liners, and all clips and fixings. Replace front screen with top tint version Replace Interior components as required.

Thoroughly wash underside of car and inspect original product. Carry out underside detail updating any underside product back to original. Protect car and components with clear cavity wax and Tectyl ML. Detail under bonnet and clean.

Carry out major mechanical age related rebuild with focus on preventive work.

Rebuild all brake calipers and plate, replace brakes, suspension bushes, ball joints, gaiters, track rods and wishbones as required. Replace shock absorbers and top mounts.  Replace prop shaft coupling and bearing. Replace gearbox oil seals, Replace differential oil seals. Replace clutch slave cylinder and clutch hose. Replace brake hoses. Reassemble with new water pump, thermostat, new coolant and heater hoses, new front and rear fuel hoses. Replace all tyres. Replace battery and breather, replace exhaust mounts. Refurbish cam cover.  Carry out Inspection II service, new brake fluid and coolant and new MOT.

All the above work will be photographed and filmed as part of the car’s history file.

The car will be extensively road tested upon completion of this work and re-inspected prior to sign off and handover
