My instructor at Mid-Ohio had a '95 M3 coupe. It was very impressive! The
brakes had me against the belts, and he wasn't even into the ABS (with worn
street tires). He could make the car dance from understeer to oversteer and
everything in between.

I've been eyeing a red '95 M3 (78k) immaculate...have been following the
LS1/T56 swap's into the 3 series stuff.  Could be a fun sleeper (Z06 with a
back seat?).  Amazed to find the all alum. LS-1 is 100 lbs lighter than the
bimmer 6....

Great balanced car, one of my first ever track events/driving schools was
with a (then new) M3 on race rubber (instructor).
