And yes I am to lazy to find out for myself. |

Early ones were 3.0 litre 5 speeds, around 270 bhp, not sure of book times, must be mid to early 5s?
LAter "Evo" models were 3.2 using the BMW double vanos system pushing approx 320 bhp. 0-60 must be 5 and under on this one, and it's a six speed.
Available in convertible, 2 door coupe or 4 door saloon. |

Hmm no bad, last one I worked on was the old 4 pot of the 80's.
Boy down the road (dodgy guy named Scott Soneji kens him) has aquired an M3 2 door silver coupe, sounds buggered but it shifts.
Might try and get a shot of it. He even went out and bought a chain and padlock for his gate for it! lol |

no had a license for years. Not sure if its nicked or what.
he takes it out every so often. Nice car like.
Sounds knackered though.
he still uses the pug as a main toy. |

Neil Dumbo is driving the corsa and Alec Dumbo is ragging a mk5 escort diesel estate about.
They were playing with the M3 today, they don't have a clue. |
