I wonder why they don't make an XM3 ... or any other their other high performance cars with all wheel drive... It must be hard to hold traction with the newer M3s with 333hp....

Wouldn't that put the M3 in a different racing class?

I asked for pics of the 4 wheel drive and how much it cost him. Here is his reply:

"i did it in bmw garage. it will make my car more powerful. i can not take any pics, because it should up my car."

Amazing...

maybe he has an m3 swap with a super...and he needs more traction so he doesn't burn out at every stoplight...? Then again, maybe he has no clue what he is talking about...

Haha that is totally BS.


This is almost like the guy who said added an intake and exhaust and made his ti 200hp. When i questioned the seller he said his g/f wrote the add but then he continued to say it did give him 40-50 hp. There is a thread somewhere on this.

The 325ix has a special M20 motor to accomodate the front differential. Not only that, I think the front suspension is quite different from the ti (to accomodate the halfshafts).

I also like how the service manual was conveniently lost.
