BMW's E36 M3 lives in the awkward middle-child position of the M3 lineage—not as iconic as the original, not as powerful as later generations. Yet this overlooked performer quietly revolutionized the sports sedan segment with its sublime chassis balance, even while teaching its owners a lesson about the importance of carrying spare fluids. It's just the cost of the Ultimate Driving Experience™.
