I thought you never ask .

Definitely cool car, it had large shoes to fill coming in after the E30 M3 but it completed the task admirably.

I'm used to see just blue E36 M3s here and they look better than this yellow IMO, but they're great COOL cars no doubt. AC Shnitzer made great looking M3s

Well, just picked a picture without looking 10 minutes for it since I guessed everybody know anyway what an E36 M3 is

Geez people you're voting on the car, not the picture!

I have to agree fully with dani, uncool for me.

Subzero for me, my favorite M. I'd have mine as a dark-colored GT please.

Cool!!!

I think this might be the best looking 3 series so far.... but the M3 version is the less aggressive of all, so it's only cool.

I voted it for cool since IMO its the less sorted M3 although at the end of the day its a M3; for instance, its not as great fun as the E30 because of its weight in the front and understeering problem; in addition, its not as sorted as the E46 in terms of suspensions, chassis,.....if it wasnt enough, the car weights almost as much as the E46, and it doesnt perform as the E46

At the end of the day, its the worst M3 version, and it remains me the comparison between the F40, the Enzo and the F50, where the F50 is the car which I disliked most
