How do you like your M3? I was gonna get one, but i last minute changed my mind to the IS3 because i hate buying a car when the new models come out. Than i feel really jealous. Does your M3 have good low end. I've raced quite a few and from a standing start they get me by about a car ,but after i hit 2nd i'm gone. On the highway from 70-125mph i usually get about a car and a half lead. BTW this is in a turbo Crx NOT AN IS300!! I still love the E36 bodies man. How much did you pay for yours? I see them going as low as 20K for 1995s. Well let me know how you like yours. The IS i thought would be alittle quicker. Thank God i kept my little Crx...

i LOVe the m3 =) it has EXCELLENT low end torque..you can really feel it. when you say you hit second and you're gone, you mean that the m3 kills you or you lose?
yeah..i like the e36 design more than the e46 body.......i paid 32.5 for the car. 35k miles, '97, white, manual, CPO
well yeah, i like mine =) hehe

lol...oh well cardinal, i dont' mind =)

so mamorn, you had a hybrid? those guys have MAD speed...i don't know how long they last, but off the top of my head, i'm guessing the LS/vtec with a turbo motor at 10psi puts out almost 200whp right? if its anything near there.....dang.....i was going to go the hybrid route about a year ago but when i showed my parents the plan i had, they kind of freaked. the m3 is a good combination of the bset of both worlds. its got the luxury(but the ride is a bit rough, it dones't kill you but its not exactly soft either) and the performance =)
