I feel like the black sheep.. because I finally got M3 power, but its sort of cheating... hehehe.. I prefer to think of it as a street sleeper..

here's my now ride:

a E36 320i 1995 with about 80K miles . Ran in southern Germany.

Rebuild (suposed to be a Alpina rebuild) in 2003 to M3 3.0 with the following mods:

M3 3.2L rear 30 diff.
M3 3.2L BBK kit (312 / 265mm discs and matching calibers)
M3 3.0 strutbars etc
M3 3.0 drive axels and gearbox (5 speed :( )
M3 3.0 Engine (286 bhp)

Furthermore it has a G-power exchaust system (racecat, backbox for M3)
Alpina Custom ECU
(286degree cams)

I have absolutely no idea of how much power it produces, i will have it tested en the next few weeks. I DO know that its the fastest car i ever had :)

OK OK .. I know you'll be laughing your ass of, in your Charged "true" E46 M3s, but to me its a dream come true.

Sure its old, looks like a regular car, and sounds like a "50$-backboxed-Neon", but thats just until it REVS!!!

it redlines at about 7800 RPMS and it pulls insanely hard!. The chassis car dous not have leather seats, aircon, sparewheel, high-end stereo system or any other heavy crap. Its a "nice" car, with a powerfull engine. It weight about 200 pounds less than a stock M3 (3.0) and have maybe a handfull more ponies!..

tested (very roughly) with GPS and to persons, full tank:

0-100(km/hour) 0-60 mp/h

1 try: 5.8 sec
2. 5.7
3. 5.7
4. 5.5
5. 5.6

I love the M power and the element of surprice, sice its an old "ugly" 4 door sedan!

Pictures will follow, but i need a paintjob before ill let you see it :)

:thanks:
