Yep, the M40 was never released in the US. Not like we're missing much.

No, you're not missing anything. It's a buzzy little thing, the M40. My hand hurts sometimes after flogging it, the shifter vibrates like a hair-trimmer. Regardless, it still moves the Touring along quickly enough.
It hurts me to see all of these M42's coming out when I'm having trouble finding a good one(for my not-yet-acquired project car) over here in Germany.

The m40 is awful, the distribuition is badly designed and you have to change the timing belt every 40.000 kilometers otherwise you are fucked, wich happened to my ex 316i. Should have got an 316 with no i

This is in Bay City? Whats the name of the store?
