Mark,
BMW produced 85 M3 Lightweights, a unique model for the US market. 
Other than slightly stiffer springs, a strut-tower stress bar and about
200 less pounds, it was not that different performance-wise than the 
standard M3.  There's no way it should have been considered a "stock"
car, but can anyone explain to me why it should be in ASP when the
regular M3 can be prepared way beyond the LTW and runs in CSP?
