Some of those specs are actually incorrect

The M3 motor specs you provided are obviously Euro spec HP and TRQ figures. The USA spec has 240HP I believe.

The 318 specs are also off. In Europe those are the M40 and M43 motors for the 316/318 whereas here it's using the USA spec M42 motor (Euro 318is) which produces 138-140HP and 129lbs*ft of torque. Don't know what that is in NM.

Anyways, just wanted to make those corrections.

Any specific reason why that white one has been for sale, for so long with no one picking it up?

cause.......its from THE COLLECTION!
IMO, they're the biggest scam used car dealers i've ever head of, HOW they do so good........dunno, but i feel sorry for all the suckers who get they're cars from there!
Ask around, lots of people know about them!
They're most popular for TWO things.......
1) Slapping rims and springs on most of the cars (CHEAP ASS RIMS too) and jacking the value of the car more then necessary.
AND
2) False advertising, i remember, a LONG time ago, i was car shopping, and i seen a few cars at the COLLECTION in the trader, and they had a E36 M3 for sale, got there, it was a 318is, with an M3 front bumper, and reear M3 badge. Been there with a buddy of mine, and they said they had a few GSR's for sale, and my buddy knows hondas and can tell what the car is by looking at the vin, NO authentic GSR's, might've been engine swaps, but either way. THEY'RE LIARS!

Sorry for my bitching, i just HATE used car dealers!

You're right, they are famous for their "fake" GS-R's. I've seen a few "fake" M3's as well. Most were just 325's with M3 front bumpers. The mirrors, moldings and side skirts were all stock. What a joke. Then when my friend and I pointed out to the saleman that his so called "M3" was missing a hell of a lot of M3 parts, he then admitted that the car was a "converted" M3. So we popped the hood, wow an inline 6 2.5L M3 motor

Anyways, one time when we were there we did spot one with a real M3 engine in it. Once again it was posing as a real M3. The VIN number was not an M3 VIN, it was just a 318 with a swapped M3 motor, M3 complete body kit and rebadged. What a jip. He was selling it as a real M3. It's funny when they tell you it's a V6. Hmmm ok, that already tells you how much they know.

If by chance they ever happen to have a really nice car, there is absolutely no doubt it's either been raped like a whore or it's been in a huge accident.
