Older BMW M3

Last night I followed an older model M3 home through some particularly twisty roads. I stayed with him in the twisties no problem, but that thing was a rocket off the line! I had no idea they were that quick.

Not sure what year it was, but it was electric blue and had some nice fat tires on it. Very sweet car; good sound from the exhaust too.

With the age of the car and alot of them getting picked up second hand at some good prices--you'll run into a lot of modded ones. Stock those cars were good for 0-60 time similar to 350Zs and RX8s--but I've been noticing more and more are messaged by DINAN and or boosted now. The eurospec models always had over 300HP--ours were rated at 240HP if I'm not mistaken.

Electric blue, nice fat tires? Hmm, that would make it a 1995 E36 M3.

the older E30 M3's are pretty good in the twisty roads too... light chassis and tuned suspension. I'd actually prefer those to the US E36's. But not to the 8 of course
