The idea behind the 1996 BMW M3 Compact was to present younger customers, in particular, with an entry point into the world of BMW M cars.
"To a certain extent, the M3 Compact can be regarded as the forefather of today's BMW M2," remarked the BMW M workshop chief with a twinkle in the eye, and it's easy to see why he draws the comparison. If it had gone into production, the M3 engine's power would in all likelihood have been lowered somewhat. In the prototype, however, it was allowed to unleash its full 321 hp, which made easy work of propelling a lightweight car (it tipped the scales at just 1.3 tonnes).
