the 240hp m3 was HEAVILY detuned, the proper 3.0 M3 had 282hp and the 3.2 had 320hp (still only 240 in the US, ew)

I wouldn't track it or anything. Just wondering how reliable it is for those that have them, do you love the car? Would you ever get another one?

easily, mine is ~6 years old now and has absolutely no issues.
i wish it was more modifiable personally (engine wise, 1ers take all the m-suspension stuff lol), but it's quick enough (and the 128's are more modifiable up to the proper 270hp spec easily) and fuel efficient as
