    Hey Ryan, do you by any chance have closup pics of the M stripes on your trunk. I am thinking of doing something similar but I wanna see more photos.

    - Car & Driver Jan 87: small article: The M-Cars Are Coming (M3, M5, & M6). It stated we expect 1000 M3s, 500 M5s and 1000 M6s will be in US (but I guess BMW bump up the number for M3
    - Car & Driver Jul 88: Fast, Fast BMW : Dinan M5 (not quite related but close brother right?)

    Love that ad...
    Love the text in the ad even more...

    -In reference to 192bhp-
    "Naturally, the M3's chassis has been redesigned to accomidate such prodigious power..."

    "Of course the M3 doesn't come cheap..." (I'd like to see BMW USA put that in an ad today!)

    Spray paint and tire shine doesn't equate to a "restoration!"

    Dump question: Can anyone confirm the fact that 4 years of production sold out in the first year?
    $32.5K then probably equivalent of $70K now.

    Definitely not.
    There were M3's sitting unsold on dealer lots well into 1992.

    Hmm, I heard that fact on one of Youtube ad IIRC. I wish I have money back then (was a student in college so I can only dream of it)
