Is that Samirs car from rennsport?

What does it have under the bonnet - I heard it was going to be a turbo e46M3 motor.

I saw a facelift e46 with black grill and that bumper in sydney 2 weeks ago.

Our work webmaster bas blocked e46 fanatics (it says "block porn"!?) so Im out of the loop over there but his car on CH is my desktop.

I notice that on some pics and posts in the USA they talk about M3/4. I am assuming this relates to a 4dr M3. Was this every released in Australia or is it a made up M3.

Remeber the perosn who ask's a stupid question, looks stupid for 5 minutes. The person who doesn'st ask a stupid question, looks stupid for life.

PS: The car is nearly as nice as the arse in the background

Imagine if it were a station wagon....

I was aware of the M3/4, but wasn't aware it meant a 4 door E36 M3. Australia never received any 4 door E36 M3s. All of them were coupes or convertibles.

You will find a few sedans on the street tho with M3 engines in them. Most, if not all are engine conversions.

The US E36 M3 had a modified M52 engine called the S52US that produced 240bhp. They never got our 321bhp S52 EURO engine.

Rs4....*drool* - shame the aussie spec was not very good when they brought it in.. not to mention residuals and insurance!

I'll pass on the V40, but thanks anyway!
PS. I'd consider a swap for the new V70R.... heheh

i know USA got 4-door E36 m3, not sure abotu the rest of the world... They got screwed with their version of the E36 m3 anyway, no wonder the E46 m3 is selling so well over there!

The RS4 here did not have simple things like seat memory, parking radar, TV screen, etc (which the M5 has and was roughly the same price).

As for the jets, they're standard on the 330 ;-) I think most xenon systems have them.

PS can u bring the rs4 to a cruise one day??
