Hi friends and fans of M3 E46.
I was at my local dealer today (BMW Calgary) and I
get info from my good friend salesman. They were for trai- ning in last few days at Vancouver B.C. and he handled me a document with following information about BMW models that will be imported to Canada in year 2000. Note: The dis- placement of M3 E46 is again 3.4 litres and no 3.2 too many times disscused.(maybe further development of new 3.0litres engine !!!???).
Info about models:
ti-
The 318ti is no longer being offered in the Canadian
market. As well,there are no plans to offer a 4 cylin-
der engine on any BMW model in Canada.

The 3 touring will not be offered in the Canadian Mar-
