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. :rolleyes:

I love those M3s--btw--I can't help but get distracted everytime I see your avatar HotPot :D

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
