I have been thinking of selling my e39 528i and e90 335i to buy a m3 car. I have seen some e36 m3 for pretty cheap. Is it worth it to buy an e36 in 2023? I know they are slow but I just want a car I can beat on and not care. My n54 335 is very capable but I am worried it’s a car that would leave me stranded eventually at almost 210k km. The e39 I simply don’t use maybe I will keep it as a winter beater.
Or is it better to save some more and buy a well sorted e46 m3, e9x m3, e39 m5, e60? Porsche??? I am getting ahead of myself idk what I want at this point lol
Probably easier and better to just buy a new GR86. I have a 03 5MT E46 330Ci that is just a $5,000 3,000 mile a year fun car and that was a bitch to find. I probably have already too much money into it. I’ve been looking at the spec E46 racing series and to buy the modifications to make it a racecar costs ~25k. Not including installing parts, welding in the cage and chassis support, and gutting the interior. At VIRingia International Raceway the SpecE46 class laps about the same pace as a GR86 Cup Car. (The SpecE46 class is faster than all the E36 spec classes) Putting $3,000 suspension on a 30 year old car and shit like that is just plain dumb to a layman. I’d buy a new Toyota GR86.
25k? Can I know in what? I know You can easily spend 3k in suspensión. Another 3k for LSD…but what else? OP a manual 128i would be good too, there are some builds in the 1 addicts forum.
