The first E36 M3 to be imported to the United States was the 1995 model, which received a 3.0 L engine with 240 hp (176 kW) and 305 N•m (225 ft·lbf) (S50B30US) and a different suspension. The reasons for the less powerful motor were largely due to excessive costs for the US market with the original engine and possible difficulty in getting the Euro engine to pass emission tests.
Medyo malabo yata pagkasabi ko tungkol sa Euro. I meant if it's a European make (MB, BMW, Audi, etc) basta US version, it has a lot of emission requirements that rob it of power.
