Did Canada receive a version of the 3.2-liter E36 M3?
An E36 M3 powered by the 3.2-liter S52 engine was not introduced in Canada until the 1997 model year (9/96 production). This was the first official Canadian-spec M3 of any kind since the 45 limited-edition European-spec coupes that were sold there in 1994, and the first Canadian E36 M3 to use the North American-spec engine. The 3.2-liter E36 M3 was available in Canada as a coupe or sedan, but never as a convertible. Aside from minor differences in standard and optional equipment (see Production Data below), they are identical to the U.S. versions.
