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!!

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.
