Hi James,

I'mliving in Frankfurt, went to the motor show and saw the M3

as we see the car is how it will go into production....

I drive a 328Cab here in germany, my lease is up in July 00. I've been told by my dealer, BMW Glöckler in Frankfurt I can order the e46 m3 January 00... for March, April deleivery, maybe earlier.

will have i6 engine, 3.4 litres. Later a V8 MAY be offered, it's a matter of costs, in Germany the M5 is 140,000Dm, the V8 M3 will be VERY close to this price....

that is bad news for BMW, people here would not buy it, as it is said the e39 is a better built car, bigger heavier, which is better for German Autobahns, makes sense when your driving down to Munich at 210km/h

just to inform you on the info I've been told from BMW here.

At prsent you cannot order any e36 m3 in Germany, including the Cab, so the e46 is coming sooner than alot of people think.

I've been told that the paint owrk as seen at the motor show will be a VERY expensive option on the e46......

regds
