Whats the difference between normal GTS-t series 2 and Spec M.

I have just put in front mount intercooler. The standard intercooler is bigger in spec M than normal series 2.

I dont know any other differences? I have searched but cant find much on it.

Is the turbo the same?

BIgger or smaller, they are all made to handle the stock poewr level without breaking a sweat. Any significant increase in power would require a bigger intercooler anyway....so a small increase in SMIC size is really a moot point.

but what are the differences?

do you have M spec?

The only "M Spec" is a rare R34 GTR of which shit all are in Australia.

What you are reffering to is Type M!!!!

The Type M R32's came with 4 pot brake calipers (front) thats about it. Some had body kit, 16" rims, climate control but that could all be optioned on 32's anyway, different dealerships offered a different combination of add on's with the type M.

So essentially, sayin you have a type M doesn't mean anything, just about every gts-t is type m

The M-spec is sexy. I think it was the luxury version of the 34 GTR's.

The type-m was just a package as far as I know. A package with the optioned things as standard? I'm sure a search will answer that though.

^^^ Correct,

any series 2 R33s are type M's

As far as i know the only difference is the side skirts, rear pods and POSSIBLY the lip on the front bar???

Everything else would either be aftermarket or a series 2 thing, not a type m thing...although as said, type M's are series 2 r33s anyway.

You can have a R33 Series 2 type LM aswell

its the series 2 R33 with the gtr vspec Active LSD

Actually it was known as the 'GTS25t Type M Active LSD', not 'Type LM'.

Infact even before R33 GTS25t type M.. All series II R32 GTS-t's were type M SOOO ever since 1991 all 2 door GTS-t's are type M...

there was 1 r33 GTS25t type G but that was a 4 door

So unless you have a R32 GTS-t series 1..( which can be a type M ).. or unless you have the Rare 4 door type G then you definately have a GTS-t type M..

:P

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
