Can anyone see why this is an obvious fake?

Yup in 1997 they did :)

Yeah I suspected that... I was just giving it a shot, I really can't find anything fake about this M3 :)

Total egg on my face :( After seeing all those fake/disaster mod sites and 4-doors threw up a red flag when I saw that ad since its not entirely uncommon for people to throw M-badges on 325/330's.

That dash looks like something out of an early 90s ford taurus. Chalk up another reason not to buy a 3 series.

Yeah the E36 interiors are not very impressive at all, they seem very cheap and plasticky

Yeah, I never liked the interior of the e36 - the dash is kinda Saab-like how the cluster/vents/console is like one big piece, not really my cup of tea. My brother had a '95 m3, was light, nice and responsive, but I'd much prefer my e34. However, the e46 3-series is entirely different, and IMHO is is right up there with the e34 as one of the prettiest cars BMW has out there. One of these days down the road when they get more affordable I'm so buying one of these.

It's a real M3. Many of the e36 4 door M3s came in auto too [don't have any clue why you'd bother, but we are in America...
