If your like fast carsthere's no way you don't have it. dream. A E36 M3, in white/black/red/red/yellow/whatever colour you like. With the straight six her, the dreamy sound of the back movement, the amazing weighing and that sweet attitude of hers, even at the limit, the M3, apart from being a created by M Division (you could give these people lemons and they would make dream supercars), it's a dream car.
And, after you've thought about it. marrying without... tomorrow with your own M3 E36, you'll be down to figure out if you can get out and if you can afford the annual pimp/robbery that impose its cubic meters (some call it "road tax", but it's more like pimping). But you may have wondered: "It can be like new"?

The Carthrottle guys, they took their (own) E36 M3 and took it on the dynamometer, with this question. The M3 that was tested has 209,000 kilometers, no kangaroo on it (it's normal) and, when it was bought, it made 317 horsepower (UK Spec). On the dynamometer, he managed, Twenty years later from its market, to take out 279 horsepower. The technicians who saw it (the M3) said that with a cleaning of its valves, could yield approximately 300.
Not a bad result for a 20 year old car, eh?
