I've been told that my car is rare, and i'm not sure.
It's a 1984 325e, but has two "M's" on it.  BBS 16" wheels, front and
rear cowlings and side ground effects (i think is what they're called)
driving lights, and a black rubber spoiler.
I've been told it's rare, first of the "M" series, and i've been told
that somebody just stuck that "M" on there !   What say you BMW fans ?

a 325e is a 325e!
M badges are sold seperately.....
the two together do not make a rare car!
lots of torque, most efficient engine, I had one a few years ago.

If you could indulg me for a second, with apologies in advance....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Ok, thanks.

There are no special M cars.  There are cars with M-Technic accessories, but
none of these ever bore an M badge from factory.  It is an abomination to
apply an M badge to a 325e -- e=eta, which means less power, more torque,
4500rpm redline instead of 6800, reduced emmissions.  Hardly an M car.

An E30 M3 has flared fenders, a BMW Motorsport 4-cylinder engine, and 5-lug
wheels, among many other differences.  There are no other versions on the
E30 platform.

The M badges have just been stuck on, it is not a M3. If it was an M3
it would not be called a 325e it would be called an M3. If it was an M3
on the engine it would have "M Power" written on it. If it was an M3, I
think, you'd know about it, as it would have cost you a lot, lot more
than a 325 and would be a lot, lot faster and your insurance would be a
lot, lot higher. It would also say "M3" on the registration
certificate, service history, etc.

It is rare because no one would be caught with that on their car LOL.  Take
the M of the car ans spare yourself the embarrASSment of trying to bew
something your card is not.
