that is just a standard 740i with some optional extras, there was never a M version of the E32, just individual.
The M sticker was added by previous owner like to many do.

Maybe the M was added by the dealer? My dad bought the car new and didnt add anything. Are there any performance extras added? I'm not sure what standard is.

[Highline]

maybe your dad added it because he thought it looks cool.
There were no performance options from the factory for the engine, power is enough.

Read the owners manual, there are a lot of gimmicks included in the standard E32, not many people know the all.

If they were cool my dad wouldent have known it... They were there when he bought it. Maybe the guy who buys it off me will think it's cool lol!

[Highline]

but not on the E32, on my E36 M3, and that is a real M car from BMW Motorsport, you can also see the engine cover with the M and other M logo on the chassis.

Also the VIN number shows immediately that it is a real M3, because especially on the E36 many 'fake M3" are sold, people just add logos, and trim etc.Shogun E32 Tech Tips: http://twrite.org/shogunnew/topmenu.html

Maybe he thinks if he posts this fake M enough times, it will turn into one.

If that's what he thinks, he doesn't know much about M-cars.
