In the Market for a 95 M3 What should i know??

[//M Pylot]

Hi everyone its great to be here.

First of all I just wanted to ask if there where any residual problems or faults with the 95 m3 that i can make sure to check out before i buy, but mainly, i wanted to know aobut the engine.

i know the 95 //M3 is a 3.0 I6 while 96 and newer is 3.2

Is it true that the 95 has double vanos? I had a e35 325i so i know some about these cars but m3's are new to me.

any additional info you guys can provide would go a long way... ps here is the car im looking at

The 3.0 engine produces alot of power all the way through the powerband. It's a great engine, I drove a 3.2 and its almost the same. With a short ram intake, exhaust and a chip, you'll really increase power. The only problem I have is a small engine noise from the lifters. I think it's from the crank position sensor. Also I replaced all of the plastic houseing with aluminum. My engine has 129K and still drives like it did with 29K. If you plan on doing any modification DINAN is the way to go. I have a Stage one, and I love every second driving it.

first off, that is one gorgeous car my friend, welcome to the site as well. the 95 is a real nice car, but i guess if i were going to buy an M3 i'd shoot for the 3.2 myself, a bit more torque that you will most likely notice. but if i found a decent price on that car, espeically if it were as pretty as the one you posted, i'd go for it.

i will look up the various faults on the 95 M3 when i get home from work, and if i forget PM me and i'll check for you.

again, welcome.
