The 748 right-hand drive E36 M3 3.0 coupes built by BMW of South Africa from Semi-Knocked-Down kits during late 1993 and early 1994 are essentially identical to the European-spec model aside from being fitted with a slightly altered version of the S50 B30 powerplant designed to run on leaded fuel. Other minor differences include a slightly altered exterior color palette, a higher level of standard equipment (including air conditioning, power sunroof, on-board computer, hi-fi speakers and the forged M Double Spoke alloy wheels), plus the use of regular (non-M Design) BMW sport seats in either M cloth/Amaretta or extended Nappa leather. NOTE: German-built E36 M3 3.0 coupes were imported to South Africa during 1994 and 1995 once production of the CKD version was terminated. Like all German-built M3s, these later SA-spec examples utilize the regular BMW AG color palette and are equipped with M Design sport seats.
