Give or take 1 sec from driver difference, the performance difference is clear.
US spec M3's acceleration is underwhelming after 60mph.
1. US spec M3 0-160kph (0-100mph) 15-16 sec
2. E36 M3 3.2L euro (321ps) (0-100mph) 13.09 sec
3. E36 M3 3.0L euro (286ps) (0-100mph) 12.2 sec

Thank you! This comparison is very helpful as well as the info provided regarding parts for the Euro spec models. I appreciate it
