You are right... Took me a minute to realize that that front end WAS an M front clip. Kinda threw me with the front end height being so high. I knew the clear lights, wheels, and side skirts were M3 material. But nice all around for a cop car.

Also, remember over there they have euro spec M3 motors pushing 263hp rather than our 240hp motors. But id still take an E30 M3 over an E36. More flashy, better handling, more power to weight, and now almost worth more... 240hp in the weight of an E36 over 228Hp in the weight of an E30, and the E30 now sells rather consistantly (if you can find them) for 15,000$US, which is about 75-85% the price of most E36 M3's, and the E30's only go up while the E36's only go down...

... i'd be a real plus if that cop car said "Dinan" on it reflecting a change in Natural Aspiration, maybe not so natural anymore, maybe a change to Forced Air Induction, maybe say a 9psi change...
