What he's trying to do is to justify his optimistic pricing by flinging hyperbole and muck at 3.2 models whilst trying to create the illusion that his no service history, mildly barried purple vert is some kind of appreciating asset vastly coveted by those "in the know."

Remember changing oil on a M3 Evo is BMW dealer only.

Unfortunately these are the kind of idiots that E36 M3's fall victim to.

I love the fact that BMW subbed out the engine building to ROLLS ROYCE on the 3 litres.

Who is he trying to kid. Oh well, best of luck with the sale...

Am I worried about my recent Evo purchase... Nope. I've been running another with four friends as a dedicated track car which has proved extremely reliable for two years. So much so I'm building another.

Don't let this guy put you off a potential 3.2 purchase. Just do your homework and buy a good one...

As odd as it sounds that is the grain of truth in that ad.

Vanos units were supplied by RR but it was my understanding that these could have been on either 3.0 or 3.2 engines.

There are also Vanos units supplied by a joint BMW / RR Aero engineering set up.






guess who's just done research following a Vanos trauma incident...

There's a shed of a black one for sale for far to much money considering it has no MOT or tax on ebay

The seller seams convinced the the aftermarket black and white badges been its a special edition thats faster than a normal M3.

I would never buy a car with such a ridiculous advert.

The guy selling it is obviously a complete tool.

How hard is it to punctuate properly on an advert?

like this advert.

stupid shouty font.
car parked up in a number of shady locations.
strange suspension configuration.
looks like it's been polished by a 6 year old with an oily rag.
'we' have fitted replica alloys...who are 'we', an illegal street racing team from leicester?!
it's very informative all round

can't really see what the problem is.

Ridiculous advert said:
the clutches on these are not like the evos which need to be computer programed to match the engine on replacement
Genuine LOL.

What a tool.
