If an M3 is number X of 501 in Diamond Schwartz what 'model' is this likely to be? Search says Evo 2.

What's the difference between this and a regular M3?

No diamond black special editions/evo's AFAIK.

Im sure Evo 2 was only missano red, macau blue and nagaro silver although Pacerpete or someone up on M3's will confirm.

AS Barry says. DS is a standard car colour. Not one of the Evos.

What I will say is that when I first got into looking at these cars. People used to refer to late 215bhp cars as "Evo2" Which is incorrect. Much like calling Sport Evolutions Evo3.

Sounds like someone stuck a plaque above the ashtray.

An evo II should also have the cam cover and plenum painted white with the motorsport stripes painted over them as well
