well, what year m3 you wanna get? They had differences and changes through the e36 years...it probably is faster, better engine, differential, suspension, etc.

great choice...first off, its ODB-I=better management, better tuning from aftermarket chips. I would definitely get an M3 over the 328...both are great cars, but the M3 you will be getting a nice little bit of extra power. The 95 m3 claims 240hp at the flywheel from a 3.2L engine, while I believe the 328 gets about 190hp out of a 2.8L engine...the numbers speak for themselves...Get the M3, you won't be disappointed

If you're attached to you car just do the OBD I conversion. Then you get lots of parts to change for suspension the way you want it.

the UK evo m3 has 320 bhp.

The 95 M3 (OBDI) doesn't have the 3.2 liter engine. It's the 3.0. The 96-99 is the 3.2 (OBDII).
