Shouldn't you be in the garage or posting more updates on your journal thread?

This goes for the EU model, so doesn't apply. It's apples vs oranges.



And as with any of these articles, the same errors that have been floating around for years made it into this one as well.



Like the double oilpump the S50B32 supposedly has, which it doesn't.

Nah, if such a known magazine can't get their facts straight...



That's why people need to do their own investigation, and not just shove down everything that gets stuffed down their throat.

I would if my damn engine would ever get back from the machine shop!

It is a very busy (and small) shop and my engine has been in line for a long time. Should be soon as I just dropped off a deposit for parts.

Cool article, but I don't agree that the E36 M3 was greeted with a lukewarm reaction when it was introduced. Stock vs stock, it blew the doors off the previous M3 in every performance category, was raved about in magazines and by owners, won repeatedly on the racetrack, and was THE car to have in it's price segment. It wasn't until it was discontinued (post 2000) that I started to see grumbling on the internet about how it didn't stack up. It could be argued (and often is lol) that the E36 is not as special as other M cars of the era, but to say the initial reaction to the car was lukewarm doesn't seem correct.

This is a British Magazine. In Britain they shit all over the E36 M3 all the way through its production run. They were all singing from the same song book and looked like they all said the same thing. Total bull shit and pretentious as hell. In North America the critics all loved the car.

If I remember correctly it was the e30 M3's that sat on dealer lots for years because people didn't want them. At least in the US
