how can it be an M3 since you say its a DINAN. DINAN has nothing to do with Germany, but it is pure AMERICAN USA stuff.. is the equivalent of the German AC SCHNITZER and HAMANN (kind of) but not that close. Also your car does not seem to be a real import from Germany as you have both longer bumpers front and rear which where made specifically for the USA market to meet the local laws there.

It happens that i used to have almost same car you say that you have with the only difference tha mine was a 323i in-line six.

And yes there was never an e30 M3 six cylinder but only a 4 cylinder which was much more powerful than the 6 cylinder for its displacement.

Also the E30 M3 has wider front and rear sides.. which yours has none...

Sorry to let you down..

Only 6 Dinan M3's were made.. That is not one of them.. You can check on www.s14.net for more information about the E30 M3. I hope that helps and you can get back at the person who sold you the car misrepresenting it as an E30 M3.

you have a 86 325es/is. its fully equipped a factory "M" badge on the grill and a ebay dinan badge on the rear. i suppose it is possible that you have a factory dinan car but since youre debating this, i would want to see more pics, you supplied pics of the trunk and of the whole car, show the door jam.

ok First things first ....there were NEVER ANY e30 M3's 6 cyl made ....EVER.
The BMW in the picture is not an M3. The M3 has much wider rear fenders than the stock E30s.
The could be a Dinan that I can't comment on but I can assure you the dude that sold you this car jacked you.

Well looks like you have been screwed!
Everything Chris told you is true!
Just google BMW M3 E30 and you´ll see how these cars look... and they are nothing similar to your car!

Face it man you have been fucked. What you thought you would get isnt what you actually got cause in receipt you can write what you want the buyer to think.

I can tell you that BMW DID NOT make six cylinder engines for the E30 M3. but Alpine did but you got to remember that the Alpine m3 six cylinder is a knockoff its not the real deal. Because the original E30 M3 four cylinder was and is still much better in terms of performance and durability.
