kiedyś o tym czytałem na innym forum, z tymi wersjami na Stany, to jakaś dziwna sprawa
niektóre e36 niby M3 na deklu zaworów M-Power a silnik taki jak w europejskiej 328, może ktoś lepiej zna ten temat...

Euro-spec M3's have used BMW's VANOS intake system for quite a few years, while the US-spec M3's received VANOS for the 1st time in the 2001 model - hence the bump from 240 to 333 bhp. VANOS is a variable intake system

Key Features of & Mods for E36 Euro M3s:

Cylinder head design same as one bank of McLaren F1 BMW V12!!
So Euro 3.0L & 3.2L engines are considered "half" McLaren V12!
Compression Ratio is 11.3
Max Power @7400 RPM, Redline @7600 RPM
Aluminium Head, Indestructable Iron Block
6 Butterfly Flaps (2x3 Throttle Bodies)
Main power restriction is mainly due to winding path of symmetrical style M Power airbox with long runners favoured by E30 M3, E36 M3 & E34 M5 alike.

Euro cars from 1992 to 1995 are 3.0 engines five speed with only one VANOS at the intake. 1996 to 1999 cars are 3.2 engines with six speed and double VANOS (intake and exhaust). 286hp for the first and 321hp for the second.


The differences between the US and Euro BMW M3
There is a quite significant difference between M3's in the USA/Canada and M3's elsewhere (Europe/Asia etc.).

The "authentic" M3 (often referred to as the "Euro Spec." M3) has the real M-engine:

S50 B30 in the 3.0 Liter Euro M3 (built from 1993 to 1995)
S50 B32 in the 3.2 Liter Euro M3 (built from 1995 to present)

The S50 B30 develops 286 hp at 7000 rpm, the S50 B32 develops 321 hp at 7400 rpm.

The following are the engines of the US M3:

S50us B30 in the 3.0 Liter US M3 (built from 1995 to 1996)
S50us B32 in the 3.2 Liter US M3 (built from 1996 to present)

The S50us B30 and S50us B32 both develop 240 hp at 6000 rpm.

The US M3 engine is - from a constructors viewpoint - a tuned standard 3-series 6-cylinder motor: The S50us engine is a bored and stroked M50/M52 engine which was/is used in the 325i(s)/328i(s).

The Euro Spec. M3 engine is a hand-built engine which has Double-VANOS, 6 single throttles (one individual throttle body per cylinder) and has the characteristics of a racing engine: High engine speed red line almost at 8000 rpm, High specific power output of over 100hp/liter. The single throttles are a typical feature of all M-engines from the late Seventies M1 to the allnew E39 M5 8-cylinder. They all had/have single throttles. If you compare a picture of the US M3 engine with the Euro M3 engine with the hood open, you can see the difference by looking at the engine bay, even from distance.

Beside this essential difference, the US M3 also has a softer suspension, other headlights, wheels of different materials and other more or less minor differences. Also the US M3 is available with an automatic transmission beside the 5-speed manual gear box. The Euro Spec. M3 is only available with a 6-speed manual or a sequential gearbox (called "SMG"), which either works like a manual gear box (but without a clutch) or automatically. In 1995 the 3.2 Liter Euro M3 also got the 1994 M5 3.8 high performance brakes with compound discs, which made it one of the best braking cars on the German market (even competitive to the Porsche 993 TT for example).

Most likely reason for the "De-Tuning" is the fact that the Euro M3 might be too expensive for the US market (in BMW's opinion) and would never have reached the successful sales numbers of the US M3. And offering the Euro M3 as a special edition for those who can afford it was obviously not an option for the following reasons: 1. Adapting it to the US emission regulations and having it certificated for the US market would have been too expensive for BMW, related to the small number of cars that would have been sold with the financially much more attractive S50us-powered M3 aside and 2. the US M3 would have lost some great amount of prestige (Keep in mind, that many US M3 buyers find out about the Euro M3 actually AFTER they purchased what they thought was the "original" one...). So, although the US M3 unfortunately is not a 100 percent "genuine" M-car, it still remains being a hell of a machine

240KM to troche lipa w USA już po 9000$ chodza M3 no ale skoro 240Km to szkoda gadać fakt zadbane mają furki bardzo no i jeżdżone po tych idealnie głatkich drogach tylko te 240KM
