fontheking5 ◊ 2014-11-04 18:18	The M3 stopped racing in Super touring after the 1991 season , and that was the E30 season . In 1992 the 318IS super touring took over in BTCC as a 2 door coupe the first year . In 1993 the 4 door 318 took over and raced untill the end of 1995, and then the 320I took over in 1996 , and it looked like this . In 1995 bodykits like this was introduced. So this is a Bmw 320I E36 .
