⚠️ PRODUCTION CONFLICT
BMW M general E36 M3 overview:
- 350 units.
BMW M dedicated M3 GT article:
- 356 units including 5 pre-production cars.
Likely scope:
- production/customer series vs total including pre-production,
but this is an inference until BMW explicitly reconciles it.
Database: Production = 350 series? / 356 including 5 pre-production [CONFLICT].
BMW M3 LTW — USA
BMW M dedicated GT article:
- built 08/1995–10/1995;
- 126 cars;
- Alpine White only;
- reduced equipment;
- <1,350 kg.
⚠️ ENGINE-IDENTITY CONFLICT WITHIN BMW M
BMW M E36 overview:
- North American 1994–mid-1996 M3 = S50B30US, 243 hp.
BMW M M3 GT/LTW dedicated article:
- calls LTW engine a revised M50B25 from 325i, also 243 hp.
Those statements do not describe the same engine identity cleanly. LTW engine code = OFFICIAL SOURCE CONFLICT / US TECHNICAL SHEET REQUIRED.
M3 Compact
PROTOTYPE — NOT SERIES
BMW M:
- 1996;
- S50B32;
- 321 hp;
- 1,300 kg;
- 150 kg lighter than weight-optimised M3 Coupé;
- never production.
Production reconciliation rules
Known official overlapping figures:
- total M3 E36 all bodies/markets: 71,242;
- Coupé total: 46,525;
- Cabriolet total: 12,114;
- 3.2 Coupé: 8,962 subset;
- 3.2 Cabriolet excluding US: 3,870 subset;
- 3.2 Sedan excluding North America: 2,690 subset.
Do not derive missing Sedan/US totals by subtraction until scope of every published figure is fully aligned.
