: : 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
: : Owen>
no problem....
I'll be seeing my dealer this week, as a good customer of his he does tell me when i can order...
I've sold 3 M3 cabs for him, he's one of the few very good english speaking dealers in Frankfurt (BMW), so i brought alot of friends there and they bought m3's of him....
I'll have more info for you in a couple of days....
