an e30 m3 is seriously underpowered and doesnt have the go to match the show imo. 195 or 215 bhp evo models dont cut it these days although they do look better than the e36 and even though i have an e30 if i was buying an m3 id go for the e36.handles better with much more power.thats progress id considered cossie ing an e30 m3 but i wouldnt have been able to leave the house for the bmw purist lynchmobs
