There was one posted here before of a car with about 6 pictures - 5 of them were of the car and one was of a lass bent over with the thong showing - obviously uploaded the wrong filename - cos it wasnt long before it was changed
Also - if something is spotted like this - make sure to take a screen shot, because if you post a link and it gets changed, people dont get the laugh out of it

According to Cartell, it doesn't even have a 3 litre engine, it only has a 2 litre!

AFAIK M3 is 3.5l - best way to tell a real one is the wing mirrors. M3's have 2 "wings" between the mirror and the door. This one is a "3M" whish is probably a 2l V6 with the M upgrade kit. Wouldn't touch her with yours.

The E36 M3 is either 3.0 or 3.2. And the sixes are straight, not vee.

Wing mirrors are so easy to forge - probably one of the 1st upgrades to make, so not the best way to find a real one. One of the best way to tell is a look at the tax disc. E36 never came in a V6. In fact, dont think there are any V6 Beemers.

I'll bow out here and admit I don't know. My mate in Bristol had an m3 and had the wing mirrors robbed twice!! -apart from that, the car itself wasn't touched.
I drove it (the M3) from Naas to Dublin and - I'm sorry - I thought it was shyte.

M-Sport is usually referring to M-Tech styling &/or suspension not M3

That was one of the funniest posts I've read on here in ages...especially since the car in question has the M3 mirrors on it.

You would not believe how many 5 series are being advertised as M-Tec when they're not - looking for one myself, and it's very annoying.

Such is the law in this country it wouldn't be a crime unless the seller told the buyer the miles were genuine.
