F series is 5 series, Mike is referring solely to 3 series M cars.

 

F refers to the new F chassis, whereas the older cars have the E chassis. i cars (i3, i8) have an i prefix for the chassis

 

IE F30 is 3-series, F10 is 5-series, F15 is X5. 

 

next gen cars with the carbon-core are G chassis, so the new 2016 7 series is a G12 chassis.

Could someone please "un-archive" the watch thread... OR could someone please point me in the right direction of a quality "watch repair tool kit" - I need to get some batteries replaces and some links adjusted etc. and would prefer to do it myself...

All you need to replace links is a cheap watch tool. I've popped mine out before with a pocket knife even. Idk what to do as far as getting the case back off but I'm sure you can pick up a full kit on Amazon for pennies.

Idk why threads are getting archived so quickly these days. Seems like we just asked for it to be unarchived last week.

Link? I'll unarchive it. Threads should not rearchive if they have been unarchived, and I recently checked one that I unarchived a while ago (which remained inactive) and it had not been rearchived. Feel free to PM me or post requests for unarchive.

The curb weights are always debated but here's the numbers from a single source:


E30 M3 Coupe curb weight: 2645 lbs, 192 HP, 13.77 lb/hp

E36 M3 Coupe curb weight: 3439 lbs, 240 HP, 14.33 lb/hp

E46 M3 Coupe curb weight: 3399 lbs, 333 HP, 10.18 lb/hp

E92 M3 Coupe curb weight: 3648 lbs, 414 HP, 8.81 lb/hp

Personally I love my E46 330. Similar power to an E36 M3, better interior, half the cost. I'd have loved an E36 M3 to tune up like Mike has, but my goals were a bit different. 

 

That E36 weight is off..

 

Mine weighed in at 3128 with ~ 1/3 tank of fuel last time it was on a scale. That's with a full interior 

 

 

Get a LSD for that 330..
