I had a 95 for 10 years. The car has a lot of heart. It runs extremely well and is mod friendly (OBD1).
The only issues I had before the turbo was added was:
Tranny mounts are weak and can cause the dreaded mis-shift due to the tranny twisting under load: easy fix is the Rogue Engineering or Group N
Vanos can get loud after 75k miles
Get a finned diff cover from Rogue Engineering if you track the car.
Motor mounts go soft early with hard driving: I put in HD Group N mounts.
I miss my baby!

BEAUTIFUL CAR! wow....thanks so much to everyone giving their input. I recently bought a MINT 1995 m3....hellrot on black nappa leather. Car is completely stock with all paperwork since new. Only additions were a Dinan exhaust and depo headlights.
Car is phenomenal..handle is perfectly neutral, great balance...throttle response is nice and sharp and acceleration is very pleasing...albeit not blindingly quick by any means.
Ive already began a few modifications....clear lens all around. m-tech alum shift know and pedals, Conforti intake, euro HFM, TMS software. Should be nice for now
. ill post pics asap
