Anniversary Edition (1997 to 1997)

Released in 1997 to celebrate 10 years of the BMW M3, the E36 M3 Coupe Anniversary Edition—officially known as the “10 Jahre M3”—was a limited-production special that combined the mechanical specification of the later 3.2-litre E36 M3 with unique cosmetic and trim details to mark the milestone. Based on the coupe body style, these cars featured distinctive exclusive paintwork, special interior trim and badging, unique wheels, and commemorative details not found on standard models, while retaining the naturally aspirated inline-six, rear-wheel drive layout, and performance focus that defined the E36 M3. Production was limited to approximately 500 coupes worldwide, making it a genuinely rare factory special. In the Australian market, genuine 10 Jahre M3 Coupes are extremely scarce, with most examples arriving via import, and values are driven by authenticity, originality, correct anniversary-specific features, mileage, and provenance, placing the model firmly among the most collectible E36-era M3 variants.
