Here's a great resource - a PDF containing all the technical specifications for every single M3 model and edition BMW has ever produced. Want to know what the roof load, gear ratios, or suspension type is for a particular M3? It's all in here, plus much more.

great document. wish i knew what some of the differences between these cars were though.
:cool!:

Dang, I've had this PDF available on AUSmotive since July. Guess I should have more of a big deal about it, haha!
Nice!!!!!
At the risk of sounding extremely pedantic there are some models missing.

No US-spec E36 M3s are mentioned at all.

So its missing:

1995 E36 M3 3.0l (USA)
1996-1999 E36 M3 3.2l (USA)

Not to mention the different body style variants of those models as well as the LTW edition
This document is incorrect. It has Rack and Pinion Steering for all models from the E30 to the E92 with all having a ratio of 19.6:1.
cool document.

The E9x appears correct at 12.5:1, whoever made this up just flubbed the GTS (and everything other than the normal E9x)

Neat, but this doesn't look like an official BMW document, they're usually a bit more polished?
Final drive for the current manual cars appears to be wrong as well.

It matches up with what's on the website? (3.85)
E46 had 4 speed automatic? loool :lol:

E30 models didn't have Rack and Pinion. They had Recirculating Ball steering.

Like I said, everything other than the normal E9x was flubbed.

Too many inaccuracies, and too many models missing - at least to be a "complete" resource
awesome!!
