Ok, i know this is most probably fake... And i can kind of tell it just by looking! but there was only 15 of these made? if i remember properly...and im 100% it would be more expensive than this right?....IS this just a m3 with some bullcrap extra's? ...m3r bodykit?...i thought they were exactly same cosmetics...

Anyone know?

Fake. Has been on the 'for sale' pages for yrs. M3R's only came in white.

M3Rs are nothing special anyway. You can build a better E36 M3 for bugger all.

There was a M3r, which i saw at a Oran Park track day not long ago...
Simply AMAZING!!...

It was so quick, and i totally understand that you can build a e36 m3 to better it, but theres only 15? ... the rareness, and the sheer preformance your getting from a stock car....Its an enthusiest car? i guess....if you are looking for more power etc. Yes, but a normal e36 m3, But its totally different story when getting your hands on a 1 of 15.

Thats IMO.

Hard to say? they are all white...

Minus those vynals and it could be it? but different number plate.

Picture from the track day pics. This car took my breathe away.
I think he might be on the forum, not 100%. But his car is great.

i think the price is a give away..... u would expect to pay those sort of dollars for a normal m3 of that same year

Def looks the goods! Not sure. Just know Bavariacars did one of these things and it made some pretty serious power for a NA unit!

Hi There,
I own the M3R which you saw at Oran Park for the Rnd 2 BMW Supersprint series. This model was specially homogolated for the GT Series by Frank Gardiner in 1995. Only 15 were produced and were fully endorsed by BMW AG. They are the rarest and quickest factory E36 M3s in the world. Yes, you can make a standard E36 M3 as quick on the track but few people have the setup skills like BMW Motorsport do ...

to DTM.

Do you mind me asking how much would a m3r fetch on the australian markets?

^ Oh dear sexy sexy!

Theres a guy with a red E36 with plates [M3R] in Adelaide - have seen it doing laps of Rundle Street for yeeeears. I think the "R" in his case stands for Replica.

I heard there was a 16th M3R made from all the left over parts from the 15 car run and they painted it Dakar Yellow? Anyone know if this was true or not?

///M3R - any more pics?

I've heard the same once or twice.

Don't know about that ... However, there should be a plaque under the handbrake lever designating what # the car is.

M3Rs are no biggie. It's a 3 litre production engine with some tweaks, a couple of lightweight panels and tight suspension.

This way pretty good for 1995. You can take any E36 M3 (you'd start with a 50B32 and Evo model) and build a much better road or race car using 2005 technology for not much money. Don't forget you can buy all the BMW Motorsport parts ... there's nothing magic about an M3R.
