Hi folks,

I am thinking of switching sides from VW to BMW, anyway kind of liking the Evo M3 E36.
So apart from the universal check of kicking the tyres any good tips (someone posted a buying an m3 tread up but I cant get it to work).
I am looking for tips like "putting it in 3rd gear at 30mph and see the response at full throttle"
Thanks in advance
Jok

These engines like revs. They are OK reponse and acceleration wise at low revs, and I mean, just OK, nothing special, but after 4,000rpm as the revs build, thats when they start to come alive.
