I thought it was an e30 at first. the sills where the rear beam joins the body are too wide though
and it looks like it has e36 jacking points.

e36 indeed... :bag
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
