You beat me to it... Although I can't tell exactly which year it is, so I don't know which engine it has. If it's a later model then it has the updated 3.2 and probably a 6-speed manual, which means performance is at least respectable... if it's an older model, then it has the paltry 3.0L and I wouldn't be surprised if it had an auto as well - those were, well.. a bit less respectable, especially for an "ultimate driving machine."
Just pointing out that I called "E36" before both of ya.
Performance with the later models may be 'respectable' as you call it...but they also have the early versions of Double-Vanos, which is both problematic and expensive to fix. Not to mention, harder to tune. I wouldn't want a 3.2L variant unless its been rebuilt.
By the way...Canadians got the Euro-spec E36 M3 (3.0L 286 hp) in 1994, which Americans never did get.
I would have thought the A pillars would have held up better than that in the "Ultimate Driving Machine"...
No kidding! Here is my 03 CTS after an 80mph roll over. This happened a little over 2 years ago. I think I will stick with Caddy.
