have you got a picture of this?

Jim Galbally

my 3.0 also has dual climate, and thats a 1994 one

Ginge !

so does my 325, but its the wanky manual one not the digital one i guess hes talking about

WD Pro

Yes

And just to add to the vanos issues / myths / stories etc - mine had 3 in 2 years of ownership The first got it to just over 50K and was replaced by BMW as it was getting a 'little' noisey. The second one was done after the cam snapped and did less than 20 miles - it was noisey when fitted by BMW . The third was OK and still on the car when sold

As Ginge says 'wanky' old type, and his wanky low bhp 325 has it:

Jim Galbally

cally, thats not an M3 centre console tho is it...


...it cant be, it's showing >20mpg

Ginge !

i aint worried about my wanky low powered 325, i aint moved the car in 6 months ffs

C4llyT

In the 30's now mate
I need a diesel, drive it like one, other than weekends anyway.

Ginge - Even German engineering can't stand your driving style?

m_nettleship

28.8mpg, have u had it remapped to go as fast as a 325?

C4llyT

Yes, I've had a chip fitted that cuts fueling to 3 cylinders mate.
Is on 30.4 now I think, only drive to work and back really.

yep sorry i was talking about the digital one

4x4

looking for one too, want it to end up looking like this, i love the smoothed look. its just missions finding black ones

i can wank over this over and over

4x4

you couldn't find a good one for 8k? 8K is out of my budget as im looking for one too but i've seen some excellent examples for that much! what was wrong with the 8k cars? im looking at a 5.5k one and its a very good example, took a bit of time finding one but it has all the things to make it a goodun!

have to admit tho bmw owners have a problem with maintaining their cars and they end up becoming loose and flimsy!

Jim Galbally

the digital one is just the control mechanism, it works the same as the dial controls. and its not an evo/nonevo thing, its just age related (obviously evos are newer tho)

Was that just of stratty road in brum? Car looks badass!

Mr Brannen

Well I had a mint Dakar one a few trs ago,brother wanted an Estoril one and could we fuck find one that had mint grey carpet and mint silver leatherr,it also had to bea convertible and we had issues finding some with dodgy hoods,,gave up in the end TBH as none were as good as the one i had before

4x4

look for a coupe, im looking for one and the ones out of my budget had good carpets and ive seen 2 with good grey vadars.

The search continues

xr2i-carl

The 3.0 is 286bhp. Most Evo's only just make 300bhp also.

C4llyT

Or 282 if you want to be anally correct
They often make over the believed 286 anyway.
Handbooks are wrong for the 3.0 and 3.2, leads to the wrong figures quoted everywhere, and the ensueing argument about it no doubt...

Little_ant

i have had both a 3litre and a 3.2 my standard 3.2 made 312bhp on the rollers on a hot day. out of the 2 cars i would deffinately have the evo again i prefered the 6 speed box, only thing i didnt like about my evo was the grey dash and carpets and the clutch.

for 3k you will be lucky to find a nice coupe m3 more than likely it will be a dog shit one with rusty arches, full cloth and about a million miles

C4llyT

Mine must be one hell of a dog if I only want £2750 for it

xr2i-carl

geeza i met at the pod sat aid 2k for a cat d samshed one.

ASHCOSSIE

what top speed and 0-60 will a derestricted m3 and m3evo do??

C4llyT

160-165 and mid 5's to 60.
3.0 should be touch quicker to 60 as will do 60 in second (Evo won't I believe), technicality I know.

Madbradz

My M3 Cabs for sale.... 5k....

Jim Galbally

the power figures youre all quoting are Ps not BHP.

286ps and 321ps

DangerousBryan

evo does 65 in second mate.
evo 0-60 5.3seconds 3.0 5.6 seconds

mine has done a 5.6 with 150k on it. that equated to a 2.1 second 60ft at york.

reisskahn

Yes mate it is, take it you must know the area and thanks for the comments....

Mitchevo

I had my 43000 mile, one owner, full dealer history, original Schnitzer goodies EVO on ebay last week and the best offer i got for it was £5k. People dont seem to want to pay the extra for a top car.

Little_ant

3 litre m3's aren't restricted to 155 and will do about 162mph when they hit the limiter in 5th, m3 evo's will do the same in 5th but put it in 6th and the 155 limiter will come in to play, de-restricted a evo will do about 175 or so i would guess

Jim Galbally

my standard geared 3.0 did 163 on tomtom. i got 200rpm more now but not tomtom tested

C4llyT

I've done 160 in mine and sure I had enough revs to take it well off the clock, don't remember it being in the red and limiter isn't until 400 into the red.
Evo's and 3.0's have same gearing but different final drive/diff, so can't compare 5th in each as same revs-mph.
175 no way mate, not from 300ish bhp.

Bryan - Sure you're right, something I read once, found it interesting whether accurate or not

Jim Galbally

ive had people quote 170mph for the evo before. based on the 163 my 290bhp car pulled without running out of steam i'm not doubting a 170+mph from a more powerful one

C4llyT

It's only 20bhp Jim, if that as will be at lower revs than your 163 I'd think which would be at peak power as opposed to Evo slightly off.
Not driven one at 160+ to see the revs it pulls.
