I have purchased Active Autowerke enhancements for my 95 M3, and the result has been tremendous. I have more torque than a 3.2 w/ intake and exhaust....and of all the 3.2s that i have lined up against, i have walked all of them.

the 3.2 apparently suffers from a poorly angled connecting rod scenario which prohibits the engine from providing the same type of thrilling top-end.

the intake manifold of the 3.0 is also better flowing, as is the exhaust manifold.

the handling of the 95 is also a bit more aggressive in the handling department and doesn't understeer as much as the 96+ because it has 235 tires all around instead of 225 fr and 245 rear.

hope this helps,

Steve M
