SHOULD YOU BUY AN E36 M3?

I’m sorry it’s late now (2 years later) but I had to laugh at the notion that even when this was produced that even a “sort of” nice example could be bought for 10k$.

No. Just pay more you’ll be happier in the end.

Lol 10k...more like 25k nowadays

Well said, yes I enjoy mine very much! Thanks for the video!

I hit that point in my life where I don’t roll race enough to have a 1,xxxhp car. Just sold my zl1, looking for an e36 m3 currently 🙏🏽

This is one of the best cars that have ever been made. I got mine for 6k from one owner. 157k miles

hey amazing, can you please let me know the colour code .. its laguna secca specific color if im not wrong?

What build is that e36 you have

“Blood sweat and money” i felt that🥺🥹

Had two in the past. Really want another one but the prices are going up on these as well.

Beautiful car, great information. Thanks for posting! 1995 M3 for $20,000 CAD with 75,000 miles. I rarely see these cars for sale here.

E36 M3 for 10k? Cries in 20k+ minimum Euro prices 😢

Damn, you want a clean one right now with average miles it’s like 36-40k

U need to drive a z3 m roadster it’s essentially a e36m3 same power train and brakes

I bought a brand new 1997 estoril blue from Passport BMW!...I will always remember the first night I drove it from the dealership🏆..Ps. I didn't know how special this was .. til after I traded in for a jeep wrangler 🥺( I hated the jeep within a week or days).

was watching this video while looking on carfax for the same model, found this exact car in the video being sold on the website 🤣🤣

The most capable M car, nothing comes close (for price/performance), Nordschleife BTG times proofs this.
Strongest aftermarket support.
Cheapest consumables (tires, brake pads, etc.)
Insane amount of DIY's and community knowledge.
The only problem is time, e36 are becoming classic and prices are climbing.

Just got one for free a barn find M3 1998 😍😏

I LOVE LOVE my car. I've a 1998 Estoril Blue M3 E36 Vert w black interior. I'm about 1.5 hrs away from the "tail of the dragon" and I've made some mods that straight up hurt feelings on those mountain runs, much less how humiliating it still is down here in TN/NC to lose to a chick. I've had Audi turbo, Porsche, Dinan M5 blown and a Dinan M3 sedan blown (was too stupid fast traded for the vert.) I LOVE my M3's. My vert is dropped with Bilstein coil over, comforti chip, CAI, 18" SSR's staggered & a ripping Stromung chrome exhaust....people are looking around the corner when this car rolls because you know its something hot howling in! I got the carbon fiber crossmembers to help with the little different handling that comes w the vert but holy smokes....sooo fun! Perfect for these Tennessee alpine roads.....holds into good curves at a hundy & doesn't even hint at a slip.....I've never felt that solid in my other cars. Anyhoo..really enjoyed and agree 100%.

How much?

LOL That cabin drone during the intro tho 🤣

Great vid. IMO the prices will climb because the E36 & E36/8 Coupe platforms have the perfect M recipe of robust, handsome drivers cars that the M division gear heads got right. I recently purchased a E36/8 Coupe (The Shoe) & I could never see myself selling this car. The canyon runs & overall driving experience is second to none. You would have to offer me 70K cash to even get me thinking about selling it because I would miss it too damn much. And even thin, I don't think I would take the offer....Pick up an E36 for 15k while you still can because it's an awesome platform.

Lol ambers aren’t rare at all

Hah period specific for USA

Good luck finding one for under 20 grand in 2022

Nice the wheels CSL.

I will get one anytime

Oh wow , those kw v3 coilovers are more than $2k. I got my E36 for $400 bucks.

Would this car be good for a first car?

Dude your e36 looks fuckin clean, i wanna get one so bad, an honestly you talkin about this car makes me want it an fall more in love w it more an more

Wow we pay like 25'000 euros for one with 110'000 miles

just buy, keep 2 grand on the side for sudden repairs, then just spend it on mods. you will have the best time of your life.

I agree about speed/power - I think I'm just getting old! I own GT-R !
Thank you for making this video! I'm looking tomorrow @ 99 Techno violet M3 2door- ! Wish me luck! comes with spoiler and Vader seats! has over 100k miles. :)

How bro say don’t buy but has one 🤦🏽‍♂️

I want it being swapped with S54 and 6 speed

should i trade my 1989 porsche 944 and 2017 ninja 650 for one. only thing wrong is the vanos needs replacing soon

Ya, what I like the most about the E36i are the clean lines. The car isn't flashy, but it looks like high-quality car that is just built better than other cars. I have a vert and with the top down the car looks so smooth classy.

This car is beautifull 😍 . Perfect Daily. I'll trade you my e30 🤣

For some reason the E36 is really starting to climb up in price. You've got it right though. It's not even remotely fast. More "adequately torquey". But it is impossible to not have a grin on your face from driving one.

E30 e36 e39 e46 naturally aspirated engines, super balance, like you said it’s not all about the speed it’s all about the balance of driving, I use to have a 325ci e46 sold it. Now I want an Msport car to drive around the beach vintage all original. Nothing crazy naturally aspirated in-line 6 or 4 with the s14 engines but those e30 are going around 110k even 70k for a ok condition

What are the best sites to find them?

10 grand lol

How do the black kidney grills fit? My experience with aftermarket is that they fit loosely.

Bro what color is that? Looks like Laguna Seca? Repaint or wrap?

“ I don’t need to go fast, I just need to feel fast”. This car does that for you.

Is a stock 1999 BMW Series 3 328i Sedan 4D automatic for $3,900 a good price ?

great video! i love my 5spd 97 328i

Where did you get the spoiler from ?

Owned a N54 335xi full bolt on, chip and meth, fast as heck.. but my current e36 m3 is just more fun.

What do you guys think?
As a kid, my parents had a very beautiful Madeira Violet E36 320i convertible with an M-pack. I LOVED it! Ever since then, it has been my dream to own a E36 M3 convertible. I've actually always delayed getting one even though I've been checking the market for about 8 years now.
In the meantime, I bought another dream car of mine instead, the Skyline R32 GTR. I've rebuilt the engine and it pushes 583hp. While I really love it and it's a crazy, unique machine, I'm actually not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I ran against so many issues since I owned it, it has cost me way more money than I would have wanted and it doesn't feel like it was worth it.
But I'm really torn between keeping the R32 or selling it and chase my other dream to find a mint condition E36 M3 convertible. On some days I'm really convinced I will do it and on other days I fear that I might miss the R32 and that it would be a mistake. What do you guys think? Would it be crazy to sell my R32 GTR to get an E36 M3?
Why I want an E36 convertible:
- The nostalgia from when I was a kid
- I actually prefer to cruise around with my car, enjoy the weather and the scenery compared to go out to drive flatout.
- I know my wife would enjoy it as well and she would like to go on trips together. (She doesn't like the R32 at all :p )
