looking at what cars you have, i'm getting the idea that Bm's are cheaper in the states than in the UK, what would you pay for this Bm.....

1999 3.2 M3 Evolution (manual) cosmos black, 65k, silver leather, wood trim, climate A/C, fully powered hood, motor sport steering wheel, clear light pack, rcl with full closure.

......here its up at £18995
what would you expect to pay for it?

£18995 = $30174.47 (united states dollas) is that cheap or exspensive for that?

sounds like your cars may be cheaper then.

kinda off topic but in Taiwan, automobiles are twice as much. So for example an E46 M3 would cost around $100k USD if you were to buy it there. And also in Taiwan, BMWs cost more than Mercedes Benz. Thats the complete opposite here in the states. Very interesting

MrM3 · 04-29-2003, 10:14 AM

actually 1999 328i Cabrios can run above $30k here. and a car like that would deffinately be mid 30's (euro spec in the US). i was always under the impression that bimmers were cheaper in europe.

That would be unbelieveble here in the US.... A US 99 cabrio goes for about 35,000 dollars.

That is less and has ALOT more engine.

cam540 · 04-29-2003, 02:26 PM

anywhere from 28-35k

the E36 M3 only has 240 hp here, I think the euro is 321.

what about the 328, 193bhp ..... is it the same for the top end speed aswell..... i can get 155mph before the limiter kicks in.

slightly because of the emissions thing i think...my 325 engine in my red 325i was new from germany because previous owner blew his motor and the dealer ripped him a new one and my car had a lot of trouble passing smog and i notice my car has a lot more power than other 325s ive driven...mayb i just have a stronger motor but im not sure
