I suppose if 3 neighbours or even 3 people in the one street, each had an Evo MR340fq. One of a limited run of 1000cars built (which included MR300 MR320 MR340 MR400) then you could say they were common. Id most definatly say they were fast & fast. Which leaves ugly???? Hmmmm!

What sort of information are u basing that on?

8 mins 14 secs round the nurburgring on std road tyres in my m3. 8:16 on semi slicks in my Evo 6 and 8:21 ish in an mr340 evo 8 on semi slicks.

The last thing an M3 is, is slow. Not the fastest by any means - but sure not slow

Not sure about turbocharging one but many companies supercharge them with impressive results

This is Alpina on JonnyBravo's PC

I havejust bought an E46 M3 03m plate as our family car - love it to bits, already gone over 160 in it and was still going strong. Stiff ride inspires hard cornering and it just looks the tits, as we have the 19 inch alloys on it and the car is carbon black.

Servicing costs a small fortune tho, but we are still well happy with it

I have had an evo 6 and an M3 and to be honest i think the M3 is soooo much more fun.. you have to know how to drive it though.. it loves to stretch its legs in each gear! not at all like a turbo car..

Depending on how you drive it an M3 can be 2completely differant cars!!!

Sport = on
DSC = off
