Thought maybe this might be of interest even if just for the inherent irony

Not a bad word i can say about the E30 M3.

Its an engineering masterpiece even by todays standards.

240 BHP from a 2.3 Four Pot is some going back in 1987....

That article is wrong, the E30 M3 had 200 Bhp.....But still...thats T16 Turbo power, but without the turbo!

I remember in Max Power years ago there was a yellow 3 series, same mk as that one, also had a Rover V8.

If anyone's interested I can find it and scan it in
