I just got done chasing down a bunch of rich greyhairs at a PCA track day in my $4500 e36 m3. It's been very reliable and pretty good on consumables. The s52 is down on power compared to the s54 but it's much cheaper to run. The e36 subframe issues are not as bad as the e46 and are not a problem on the m3s.

BlackMK4 posted:The other nice thing is there will basically always be someone else (usually multiple people) with one, so you kinda have someone to run with and talk to about driving/setup/etc. E46 M3, not so much. I've only seen a handful of E46 M3s locally in the last two years. Ha yeah, there were 4 of us I think. One had an s54 swap. Second time I've seen one of those in as many track days. Unfortunately this was my first track day with the Porsche club so I got stuck in a different run group than the other e36 guys. User Error fucked around with this message at 20:12 on May 24, 2018 |

 My sunroof motor cover disintigrated and fell out overnight. It's moments like this that make e36 ownership really special. e: jesus christ $70 for a new one. User Error fucked around with this message at 15:16 on May 31, 2018 |

I’m going to go look at an e30 tomorrow and I feel like a goddamn kid on Christmas Eve E: somehow my wife is onboard despite me already having 2 e36s. I picked the right one. User Error fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jan 26, 2019 |

Suck it poors actually suck it me, I way overpaid for how much work this thing needs. I'll just keep telling myself that I always wanted to learn to weld sheet metal and that it's value is appreciating anyways.

'90 325i, 5 speed, 164k on broken odometer (supposedly has 180k but who knows). Rust by rear tow hook, passenger side rear wheel arch, and driver floor/jack point. Pretty similar to, but not as extensive as this one: https://jalopnik.com/how-i-saved-my-project-bmw-e30-from-rust-oblivion-by-le-1829478821 However the top side is in great shape, the engine runs and sounds great, and it came with Bilsteins and some type of after market springs. Paid 3700

you could buy 3 really nice e36 M3s or 10 really lovely ones for that price. One of them will probably be blue.

Stupid e36 M3 is the most reliable car I've owned and yet it never fails to throw a check engine light THE DAY I decide to get safety/emissions inspections done. gently caress you, car.

Somewhat Heroic posted:If it was anything like mine it would magically heal itself the more I drove it. I would fill the tank up. Some time later would get the CEL, and a quarter tank later the light would go off. p0188 and p0189. Maybe it needs new intake boot electrical tape.

Jealous Cow posted:https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/cedar-park-1995-m3/6921933527.html Could make a good track rat and that's a good price. Just understand that the interior will always be lovely and be sure to budget 1500 or so to catch up on maintenance - control arms, water pump, belts, hoses, bushings, wheel bearings, fluids, guibo, driveshaft maybe. E36 m3's are great fun and aren't getting any cheaper.

I love when I go to replace the driveshaft in my e30 and find that the subframe bushings are all dry rotted and the brake lines are rusty as hell. Neat. Some day I'll run out of stuff to fix on this car.

Big Taint posted:The E36 is great, the poo poo interior was mostly on early E36 cars and none of those are M3s. Get one. Eh, my '97 has a pretty dogshit interior. Mechanically it's been great other than the GDCS. A lot of them have issues with the VANOS variable valve timing but I guess I've been lucky. Still sees occasional track days with 190k miles. Buy one, upgrade the radiator, install poly bushings and good brake pads, and go chase down Porsches on the track.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Anyone have experience with aftermarket bumpers? The paint on mine is really hosed up and a body shop guy said it may be cheaper just to get new ones. Harder to find a cheap M-Sport pair. I put one on my e36, it's not perfect but fine for a 200k mile car.
