differnences in m3 years???

[mikeedler]

they started to make them in 1986. not that it makes mine worth anymore, just a cool fact for me, mine was the 303rd m3 sold. alot of parts on my car actually say 1985.

[ETA fro]

that site says that an option on the evoIII was
Sunroof, manual or electric (cost 745+ UK pounds in 1990)

does that mean some of the m3's came with no sunroof,
or did every one know that and i am retarded

US cars came decked out with all options for the most part, as otherwise we Americans would not purchase one. In Europe, they were an option as was A/C and power steering and all the stuff we take for granted.

The optioning out of US M3's did not have anything to do with marketing. I am sure they could have sold stripped versions here, especially once the public discovered the true nature of the beast.The fact is, this was a low production car that cost $1 million to federalize. BMW added all the options to increase the profits, otherwise, they would have lost money selling it in the US.
