Went to my local store the other day and parked next to a black E36.

Anyway, wish I had my camera with me. This bad boy, with an M3 badge on the back, M badging on the side trim, M steering wheel and M type rims, had four doors and a steptronic :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know there has been some discussion that at some point we might see a four door M3. Perhaps this guy was driving a test mule :lol: :lol:

If memory serves me right, I think you could get and E36 M3/4 Step that met your discription. My E36 M3/4 was a manual!

Cheers,

The four door M3 E36 does exist so thats no reason for the car to be fake. About the steptronic i dont know, i know they were made in manual and smg, but about steptronic i am not sure.

I'm probably not explaining it well, but this definitely wasn't the genuine article. Either way I never realized that there was a 4 door m3!!

I can vouch for that. I once worked with a co-worker who had a white e36 4 door M3/manual.

Do you know if it ever come with 4 doors and a plain vanilla steptronic?

I was sure this was a lame copy (and I think it probably still was) but maybe it wasn't quite as unlikely as I thought :wow: :D :D
