Interesting choice.
That was the first time that BMW making a M3, not so mature marketing strategy. Had it designed to be a 6 cylinder engine, its sales figure would be much higher. Compared to the E36 M3, US sales figure grew like 300%.

BMW sold 16,202 of E30 M3, and it sold 71,242 E36 M3 worldwide. See how number of cylinders can do the magic and dramatically change the sales?
