BMW M3 Saloon History
The E36 model (1994-1997) saw the introduction of the saloon version of the M3 for the first time. It had a 3.0L engine which would be upgraded to the 3.2L when the M3 range was upgraded in 1995. The production of the saloon version ended in December 1997.
The E90 model (2007-present) saw the reintroduction of the Saloon version which had not been produced since the end of 1997. This new version was coupled to a 4.0L engine and the new sleek design which keeps it in-line with M3 design but also has features taken from the 3-series saloon. This is the current version on the market.
