my grandpa just got the familys 6th bimmer last night

[NC325iC]

He has an M3 and a 325ic with M3 parts or 325ic he calls an M3?

he bought a 1997 325ic
he also bought a wrecked M3 i dont know what happend to it but everything was fine
he took all the stuff from the M3 styling enginge luxo interior and some other stuff had it tossed in the 325ic so it is the only(that we know of) 1997 M3 convertible in america

[NC325iC]

The performance of the E39 M5 is not very impressive to me, especially the 2000 with the 2.82 rearend. Quad VANOS is cool and all, but it doesn't work too well in a car that's close to 4000 pounds.

Imola Red is the tits on these cars though, badass color combination your gramps (or uncle?)--picked out.

ok well your entitled to your opinion i just have one question
have you driven one?
if not then you can just not talk about its performance i can tell you that its damn good enough it pulls HARD

It wouldn't surprise me if Stu had drive one, or several M5's. He's also probably lost represent as he also roasted a few I imagine.

They are alright, (surely fast, and comfortable, and you could most likely get more waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles than you can shake a stick at, pun intended) and it is my 2nd rarest cruise car if I had the $$$. 1st being the new 545i.

But... it's still a 325ic... it just has all the M3 parts.

--Pete :D

[NC325iC]

it is an M3 with the body of a 325ic

[SykoBMW]

It's still not an M3, I have no doubt it's a nice car, but it's not an M3.

[NC325iC]

no offense but i dont understand that logic

[Stu]

no offense but i dont understand that logic

Does it have a VIN beginning with WBS? No. It's not an M3.

[NC325iC]

most everything except the body does

[SykoBMW]

It's not an M3, throw all the parts on it you want, it's not an M3.
