100 more HP than an E30 M3

600 lbs lighter than an E92 M3

Has /M badges on the steering wheel and on the shifter

Being ambiguous because it's fun, SR20 coming when I get pictures that aren't shitty.

An old mustang that someone put M badges on?

Seriously, 300HP, and (what I guess is) 2900lbs? BMW hasn't made an M car like that in.... like, ever. M roadster/coupe? That's close enough to 2900. I'm sticking with that as my guess.

Unless you mean 600lbs less than an E92 M3 convertible , in which case yeah, 300HP and 3300lbs would put it right in 135i range.

Without research. M coupe?

Indeed. Not really on my radar when I started looking, but ran across one, test drove it, and enjoyed it. Needed something with A/C (literally my only concrete criterion) and soon, because my commute has lengthened and my A/C-less Alfa was beating me down.

135. Number I pulled off of Wikipedia cited 3900 lbs. as the E90 curb weight.

That must be the convertible's weight. E93

Was that you then who posted a week or so ago asking about 135s? Said you found a used one under 20k?

Yeah, that must have been me. Wound up getting mine for not much over that.

Congrats! I think the general consensus on that was that it is one hell of a car if you find one for 20k +/- some change.
