Your looking at about 20 mpg if it doesn't have any real engine upgrades. I would check the engine number and be sure it matchs what that year bmw has stock. other than that if y ou like it who else really matters right???

$8500 for a good 95 M3 is about right.

Pull up the VIN in realoem.com or some other online VIN decoder to see if it is an M3.
