The E46 CSL, of course.
But then again, they never even sold the car how I would have wanted it (Imola red over black alcantara, manual gearbox)! |

If it has genuine US registration, things like getting pulled over or plate-readers should be a non-issue. Even with it still being grey-market.

Was there a difference in stock E30 M3s between the regions? Or are you talking about the E36?

Currently: M340xd Touring
In the past pretty much all touring models including the E61 M5. The 1 serie hatchback rwd is on the list. We're missing on good diesel engine as well. |

I don't think F81 is actually a chassis designation. They made F31 Touring 3-Series which were sold in the US, but they never made a F81 anywhere at all.

I've driven one of these once, when I was 16. Saw it at a meet and started talking to the owner. At the time it was single handedly the coolest car I'd ever seen, incredibly well done s52 build and the car was mint. After a few minutes of gawking he pulled out the keys and asked if I'd like to see how it drives. Wish I had his contact or something to remind him of that night 9 years ago and say thank you again, since on that day that felt cooler than my ~800hp 335is feels today.

Using a VPN I was able to get into the BMW configurator in Europe not too long ago. It is very interesting how you can option a car for purchase in, say, Italy or Germany. I wouldn't be surprised at the ability to option an x-drive wagon with MT and their largest diesel in a 3-series, but I have not attempted it. |

Sport EVO would be nice but I enjoy my E30 M3 even if I had to add some of the parts to make my own. Still wished I had not sold the other one. |
