A long, long time ago there was a television with three English men who have crazy things in cars. One of the men called Richard Hammond and in episode 2 of season 15 he went with this BMW M3. And now you can buy it.

The BMW M3 of course, not Richard Hammond. That seems to have already been bought by Netflix, along with the other rascals. But this M3 is probably a bit more fun to have. In addition, it is a lot cheaper, because with an estimated auction proceeds of approximately €10,000 to €15,000 euros you can probably not much more than two minutes of tv with the guys of Topgear record. Incidentally, well known E36 M3’s can be much more problematic, so we are curious to see what the car finally yielding when the hammer falls on 6 June.

The BMW E36 M3 built in 1996 and was used in the £5,000 trackday saloon challenge in episode 2 of season 15, check out the video here. The 3.2 liter six-in-line has also 127.516 of kilometers, so there’s still plenty of life in for years of pleasure, you would think. Pity that the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Check the auction here.
