Re: M3 test-drive

["Steve Nash" <nashflr@erols.com>]

BMW is upgrading from a 2.8 to 3.0 in the fall.  Also in the fall 4wd will
be an option on the 3.0 it will be known as the 330xi.  Audi who?  So much
for A4 quattro sales.  Hp will be about 225 no turbo and I bet it will out
perform an S4.

If you like the feel of the E36 M3 ( for you non bimmwad's that model year
'95 to 99) try driving the E30 M3 (model year '88 to 91).  I have spent a
lot of time in many BMW's including, M Coupe, E36 M3, 325i, 2002, and E30 M3
and I still giggle like a school girl every time I drive my '89 M3.

No, it's not for sale.
