“Australian Lightweight”— Michael Carroll’s BMW E36 318is

“Australian Lightweight”— Michael Carroll’s BMW E36 318is

Back in 1995, BMW produced 126 units of E36 M3 Lightweight LTW in the United States of America. E36 Lightweight is the US-spec homologation version of the BMW DTM race car and fits for both road and track use. Cloth sport seats, magnesium wheels, reduced sound insulation, carbon fiber trim, and without radio, air conditioning, and sunroof makes E36 Lightweight even more special. However, car enthusiast outside of the United State is almost impossible to get Lightweight M3 plus the price for an authentic Lightweight M3 are already more than some supercars.
Michael Carroll from Australia turned his Alpine White 318is into a street use "Australian Lightweight". Genuine Style 24 wheels with Lightweight style wing with riser and Rieger GT front splitter make his car just like an actual Lightweight. Michael told us the new motor for this car is coming very soon and we can't wait to see this car gets finish. This Lightweight inspiration car reminds our GSCE36, which we will share with you soon.
