does anyone know if there is diffrent spec levels for the e36 m3

 

Yes, There is a M3 Evolution version with 321bhp instead of 286bhp. And AFAIK, the Evo version has a 6 speed box.

 

I think its just the leather interior, mines got the full leather "vader" trim. As for engines, they change over to the evo around 1995, which has more bhp, and a six speed box. Hope this helps!!

well my gf has just brought a 95 non evo one with vadar trim and the seller said it was a motorsport one

 

There was never a motorsport one. There was a GT version.

 

Was it green mate? there is one called a m3gt i think......

 

As Adam says, never heard of a "motorsport" one!!

 

no its violet very basic inside

 

The only signs that could give the seller that he thinks its a "Motorsport" is on the alloys and possible the rear spoiler where the brake light goes.

Anything else that mentions "Motorsport" is a add on.

 

Think its just a normal m3, how much did he pay for it mate? how many miles etc ? I paid £4600 for mine, 138000 miles full bmw history and 2 owners.

 

she paid £6200 for it and its only done 59000 miles and is mint only problem is she is only 20 so cant insure it untill she is 21

 

That seems about right mate, they are ace cars, as much as i loved my cossie, the bm is better in most respects. The main one is that i dont think it will brake down every time i rag it!! Saying that if it wasnt my everyday car i would have a cossie again defo!!!

 

m3s , bland and even blander

 

True mate, but as a everyday car, miles better than my cossie.

Yup ,cant fault that side of things thats for sure

just a shame the cossies are really old now and break all the time even when pampered

 

guy round corner years ago had a m3 sport think it was and it was green s plate and told me it was 1 of only 50 made!!! had full schnitzer kit on it and was mint!!!

 

Sounds like a GT

 

True!! i spent a small fortune keeping mine on the road, if they were as reliable as my bm, would have one again, would just have to convince my girlfriend that it wont brake down......

 

The one above sounds like a copy GT as they were made in 95 and the GT2s were red. There were lots of variants but most are MEGA rare, CSL, M3R, GTR, etc.

 

My M3 is the best car i have ever owned...only about 6k's worth.

 

Can be a bit boring at times, best thing to do is stick it away for a bit, then get it back out, thats what I done and I love mine again

 

..Mr Brannen...i tell you this...put a Miltek full decat exhaust on and a grouppe m induction kit and you will be in possesion of one of the BEST sounding cars when flat out you'd ever did hear....and this keeps the interest goin...Bare in mind i also own a Ferrari with a sports exhaust..and its better sounding than that

 

Here you, 321 bhp and RWD isn't bland just sutble enough not to get loads of attention by the wrong kind.
Will take abuse all day long without breaking unlike certain motors that break even when given royal treatment, I know.

3.0 M3 up to late 95, 286 bhp 5 speed
3.2 "Evolution" 96 on, 321 bhp 6 speed

There are dash differences and different leather/ alcantara options
Special edition GT and Individual models.

 

bosch dont you have saff aswell

u minted fook

 

think most m3 evos onyl make 300 when owners have had there roaded

 

ok so does every non evo have wood trim as i look at one that did have as standard but this one dont have it (better with out) and does anyone have a rough idea on price to get it chipped

 

No, wood was a bad option and your right the plain leather is far nicer. Stu at MSD does them for £450 iirc.

 

Ha ha ha ha yes james i like em , i just like annoying the select few on here that think its the best car on the planet and every other car especially cossies is shit

cossies are fantastic as long as u know how its been treated by previous owners ,just a shame 99% have had shoddy treatment and old cars now that u cant help but get problems with age

 

Nowt like trying to cause an arguement Millsy is there you fuckin plank

 

oh and Millsy FYI I actaully prefer Cossies to M3`s , try n get ya head round that one if u will, I`ll tell u why, my current circumstances mean an M3 is better suited for me , what with just taking on a mega mortgage etc....hence why I sold the Cossie for an M, I will have another one day though.

 

Some manage to make 310ish, but I've had three consistant RR results:
319bhp,
324bhp
325bhp,
At three different RR's and thats with minor mods as they are well set up as std, pretty good for no turbo!

 

Lol easy tiger u would think i was making that statement about u in general


Im maxed out with a mortgage now as well as a little un on way so u aint the only person with responsibilities

FYI , i aint no plank , im more suited to being a bastard as i enjoy being one

 

Aye soz matey, u just caught me on the tail end of an arguement with wor lass

 

i got this from her on sat night

 

Can anyone tell me what sort of miles per gallon you get with one of these??? For both the 3.0 and 3.2?

 

I get around 25 around town, but if i rag it for short blasts etc its more like 19. On a trip to scotland i got 31mpg so not to bad

Thats for the non evo 3ltr

 

Ideal mate. Just sold my evo yesterday and gonna save some cash for a E46 M3 but maybe buy one of these till i save. Is it wise? I do a fair bit of motorway driving?

 

I use mine as an everyday car, as long as you dont rag it too much there ok! was your evo bad on juice? would love an E46 M3, just out my price range for a few years!!!!

Smudge

 

i get 14mpg round town in my 325i and 25 to 30 on motorways


think im best getting a m3

 

Evo's are hurrendous on fuel. I used to get between 90-120 miles to a tank(£30).

Worst ever was 64 on a back road mission...

Whats the best to go for... evo one or non evo???
