BMW M3 GT

The BMW M3 e36 was not designed for competition, unlike the M3 E30. The goal of the M3 is now to offer the brand's customers a real road GT. But the birth of the ephemeral GT version in 1995, at the crossroads of the M3 e36 3.0 and 3.2, comes once again from the needs of racing... The M3 GT is a pure niche product reserved for old Europe, where only well-informed connoisseurs can rejoice at not having air conditioning... which is however not the case here. At first glance, neophytes will see nothing but a "tuned" BMW. This generation having been largely consumed at the stake of racing, we will not really blame them. The M3 GTs thus adopt the white indicators "theoretically" reserved for the M3 3.2L at the front, but the side and rear indicators of the M3 3.0. 

All M3 GTs therefore sport the same color British Racing Green (312), a color exclusively reserved for this model. Then, we attack the stimulating signals for emotional enthusiasts: the blade (adjustable in two positions) added under the front spoiler, the trunk spoiler borrowed from the competition 318is (and not the one offered as an option on the M3 coupe with 3rd light stop), or as an option on the M3 GTR, the small "BMW Motorsport International" logos with a blue and red checkerboard replacing the traditional M on the moldings and door sills, the 17" forged aluminum rims, polished and engraved with a large "BMW Motorsport" in their center.The panoply is complete but still relatively sober so as not to disturb the natural elegance of the lines of the BMW e36 coupé. On board the M3 GT, we also go green. There are thus standard sports seats covered in their center with Mexico green nappa leather and anthracite Amaretta on the bolsters. The same green leather is also present on the storm doors. Another special feature of the GT, a carbon fiber veneer on the bottom of the center console and above the glove box. The three-spoke sports steering wheel incorporates the airbag. Under the bonnet, a strut bar hangs over the superb 6-throttle intake manifold of the 3.0 engine (code S50B30) from Motoren Werke of Bavaria. Revisited for the occasion, it was offered more pointed camshafts and electronic management of the recalibrated Vanos system. The M3 gains 9 additional hp and a chouille of torque 32.9 mkg at 3900 rpm (instead of 32.6 at 3600). On the other hand, what the figures do not reflect is the even more explosive character of this 6 in line of anthology. It is even more furious in the 5000-7300 rpm range (cut-off speed), with an inexhaustible will to the rev limiter. In addition, the engineers considered it useful to optimize the lubrication of the S50 with a partitioned crankcase and more powerful pumps for use on the circuit. The exhaust line is the same, however, but the 3.0 lets you get drunk on its metallic and refined sound even better.

Wrap Weekends #14 - BMW M3 Evolution II (E30)

Merry Christmas Eve! here's a present of sorts - Wrap Weekends #14 with the BMW M3 E30! if you make a grown man doodle on their car, i think this will be the result. every single decal on the car is unique - i did not repeat any of it (which contributed to how long this took lol).

a few sources of inspiration came into my mind while making this one. the build itself, with the wiiiide @lto_livetooffend bodykit, is taken from the green SEMA 2019 car - and yes i also fitted it with @rotiform WGR-Ms like that one (in fact i have a replica of that car in my online garage haha!). the doodling comes from both the game itself as well as another real-world build; Harlow's @danielleguizio patterned C8 Corvette in the game was an inspiration, as well as @jp.performance 's 3-Series E36 build that was seen in Essen Motor Show 2022.

i hope this makes your Christmas Eve a bit more special, and i hope to see y'all tomorrow for another one for Christmas Day :)
