Xmax E36 318i and 318is Motorsport editions had M3 body kit , lower suspension ( 20 mm or so )and 17 inch mags were about R22000 more than standard car in 1996 . Road tested in CAR mag January 1996 .You may get standard car with M3 body kit and mags in Gumtree etc.

UPDATE : Here are the dyno results and list of all mods i've played with on my Yellow BMW E36 1998 328iM

__NOTE : Measured at the rear wheels...in 3RD gear..!

---

1. freeflow exhaust (bonnet closed)
2. freeflow exhaust (bonnet open)
3. m50 inlet manifold
4. m50 inlet manifold
5. simota filter (bonnet closed)
6. simota filter (bonnet open)
7. debaffled airbox (bonnet closed)
8. debaffled airbox (bonnet open)
9. IAT & Big Bore Throttle Body
10. IAT & Big Bore Throttle Body
11. IAT & Big Bore Throttle Body
12. SIMOTA Turbo Ventilator

I also toyed with lower profile tires (235x40x17) at the rear. I could not see any improvement on the dyno chart.
However, the time it took the dyno to accelerate was marginally quicker (0.1 to 0.2 seconds)
i.e. start(2500) to final(6000) RPM - implying an improvement on the drag strip.
This is actually a cool test as drag strip response time (me) was not a variable..!

& Blue 1997 BMW E36 M3.2 dyno results...(no mods @ crank)

& same Blue 1997 BMW E36 M3.2 dyno results on a different dyno @ the rear wheels...

I do enjoy and have come to like these cars. Never been a bmw fan (really) - until recently..!

The 328iM is my everyday/toy car. Next mod is exhaust branches (TNT & M3) with 2x57mm pipes
...also considering fitting a supercharger..!

The M3 is still stock and is only used as my sunday/emergency drive as i am trying to keep the kms low.
It does however, get used often, as i regulary damage the 328's bumper or busy modding the 328..!
