e36 is the 3 series. But 318, 323/325 (same engine, different number on trunk), 328, and m3 all have some general body style. e38 is the 7 series, e39 is a 5 series. On BMW models for same generation, they utilize roughly the same body (sometimes subtle differences) and they just change the engine. That is the beauty about BMW. If you only want luxury, you could buy a 318, have all teh same luxuries as a 328 or m3, but just not be as fast. Same way with like the 525 compared to the 540 or M5.
Also, when i talked about body differences. M3 has a different rear bumper/valence, side skirts, front bumper and mirrors than the other 3 series. (that is the most notable thigns). Half of the M3 parts though have an embossed ///M symbol on them.

Stock they have 333hp n/a. They can get some power from mods, but not a whole lot short of FI.
