i dont think they did but me mate went to have a look at an e46 m3 and he said that was supercharged and was standard. I think the bloke in the garage was talking wank unless they did a limited run by some tuning company like alpina etc

Slightly off-topic but you did used to be able to buy the E36 328 with an AC Schnitzer BMW approved supercharger conversion direct from a BMW dealer brand new.
Our local dealer had one when I went in to have a look at a brand new E36 328 Sport back in the late 90s

Im 99% sure ive read about Alpina making a handful of E36's that were supercharged, i know they did a few V8 engined ones. Never heard of an M3 being factory supercharged tho.
