M3 MODEL NUMBER?

[MADNESS]

Can any one tell me the model number of my car?

It is a 1994 M plate M3 coupe.

Is it a E36?

From evo:
0-60mph: 5.4secs
0-100mph: 12.8secs
Vmax: 157mph
Power: 321bhp at 7400rpm (will sound like a banshee on the hunt for fresh souls )
Torque: 258lbft at 3250rpm
Power to weight: 215bhp/ton

So how are you finding the M3, madness? Have you just got it?

Those specs look like the M3 Evo.

I believe this is the earlier M3 spec:

1st Version
Engine:2990cc,in-line 6,24 valves
Gearbox:5 speed manual
Maximum power output:286hp/7000rpm
Maximum Torque output:320Nm/3600rpm
Top Speed:Electronically limited to 250km/h
0-100km/h:6.0s(coupe and saloon) 6.2s(cabriolet

and the Evo:

2nd Version-Evolution
Engine:3201cc,in-line 6,24 Valves,Double VANOS
Gearbox:6 speed Manual
Maximum Power Output:321hp/7400 rpm
Maximum Torque Output:258ib ft/3250 rpm
Top Speed: Electronically limited to 250km/h
0-100Km/h:5.5s(saloon and Coupe) 5.6s(cabriolet)
Visual Differences in the evolution version include clear indicators,new paint colours,more aggresive alloy rims for the coupe and wider rear tyres.
Technical differences include changes to the engine,as you can see from the spec above.A 6 speed manual gearbox and disc brakes which were taken from the last M5 were also added.

So can you de limit the car for more then 250?

Not that I would ever take the car to that sort of speed!

Has any one put a turbo on one of these cars

I'm pretty sure Dinan in the states will have a supercharged version... Dunno about a turbo

Hope this helps regarding the turbo:
