This is apparently a fairly popular modification where you cut the top off of E36 m3 struts, remove the guts, drill a hole in the bottom and insert a Koni Sport insert. Not only E36, but many other cars where Koni has suitable inserts

I should have known that earlier, actually I replaced 2 years ago both my original Sachs-Boge E36 M3 front struts with
312253 Sachs-Boge OEM - Strut Assembly; Front Left; OE Version
312252 Sachs-Boge OEM - Strut Assembly; Front Right; OE Version
and 'unfortunately' scrapped the old ones as both were leaking at the top with less than 50k miles, could have bought Koni sports inserts
