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
Is it? As an owner of a e46 m3, it sounds like I need to get my hands on a e36 m3 version
You do you its slower but feels quite a bit lighter and more raw
I’ve owned a E36 and I think you’ll be a bit underwhelmed coming from a E46. The S54 is a much more special motor than the S50/52. Not only that but the steering rack on the E36 is notoriously slow and the suspension (stock) is super soft so it’s kinda like piloting a boat in the corners - Tons of wheel turning with the body rocking side to side haha. I loved my e36 but I think the e9x is a better buy for a better car.
