The "M Contour" wheels that I think you are referring to are part of the optional luxury package. About 1/3 of e36's have that package. IP: Logged |

I think the 95 has the M contour wheels as a lux package, however, I think the later models are equiped with the doble Spokes, which I think is much better looking..IMHO.. PS...just a pain in the ass to clean them IP: Logged |

I am just posting my answer because i have a diferent "version". As for europe, all M3`s have alloy wheels such as yours but the diference is: M-CONTOUR is original part of the M3 sedan. MULTI-SPOKE "bmw motorsport" is original part of the M3 coupé. MULTI-SPOKE "clean" is original part of the M3 cabrio. Each of this models had their own wheel style. Only by request the customer could change the wheels. Eduardo. IP: Logged |

Quick question ... pun intended I have a 98 M3 Coupe, American. What are the differences between mine and yours, assuming you have the European version. The more info and details the better. Thanks Victor -- email me back at victorlucaj@netscape.net IP: Logged |

Victor, from what i know the differences are: Rear floatable rotors for european Six throtlle bodies Electronic vanos for the inlet cams if the car is a 3.0 and double vanos if the car is a 3.2. Head ported different for european but same configuration (24 valve) Different headers Different cats Different suspension Bigger air flow meter Different engine management Different airbox I think thats all. As you can see, major differences are in the engine. European engine wont be able to pass the polution rules in U.S. Eduardo. IP: Logged |

Victor, Euro M3's can also have the options of a 6-speed manual, rear foglights (this is also a canadian option, hell it's probably an option everywhere but the U.S.), The rear side windows can have motorized actuators, the headlights have washers(spray), the headlights are different, and I am pretty sure there is more... =^) IP: Logged |

No, no, no. All euro M3 came stock with 6 speed manual (3.2). Option was the SMG gearbox. Eduardo. IP: Logged |
