Infographic on 28 Years of M3 Coupes

Cheeky little infographic on the 28 year history of M3 Coupes.

Looking forward to the M4 Coupe if I'm honest but I love the look of the classic E30 front. Nostalgia!

The HP on the E46 is wrong. It was 333hp.

I think they are quoting Euro spec. OP is from UK.

e36 came in 282 and then 321 I believe. US was 240.

e46 was 343. US 333.

Which is odd because the e92 is 420 euro 414 us (from what I remember but I could be wrong...going off memory).

I love the idea of an m3 infographic but I feel this one doesn't do it (and the m3 history) any justice. Sorry to criticize but the artwork looks like it was made back in 1997 (e.g. South Park). I work at a creative agency and the tools used to create an infographic have made huge jumps in the last 1-2 years so this one just smells slightly fishy to me.....
