My bro' bought a 1998 M3 in late '97. He paid way more than I did for my 4th gen in mid 1998.

Simply said, he loves his car. But he is very introverted about it. When he first got it it gave him endless attention, which as a traveling consult. he didn't want.

Today, he still doesn't participate on any web bbs or car club. Simply said he just "loves how it handles" if you ask him. That's what M Power is about as far as I know.

But as Max owners, are we so insecure as to get rattled by flames? I don't think so, aren't we up to 260 hp for 2002? <grin>
