you may well be right serek. 425 ? I wasnt listening too closely, more interested in making sure we were still on the right side of the hedges. ;D..............a hell of a car though.
I could put up with people assuming I was a dick, if I could have one. License probably wouldnt last long though.
Bloke who owns it is in his early twenties, and in Norn Irn I dread to think how much the insurance is. ::)

E36  m3   286 hp (1993-1995)
E36  m3   321 hp (1996-1999)
E46  m3   343 hp
E92  m3   420 hp

all values are for stock German models.. In some countries like USA hp values will be less..

and really good cars good engines imo..seen some E46 m3 heavily modded around 1200 hp.. :o :o

I had an experince with an E36 m3 some years ago, it was amazing.. ::)
