Which way to go - buy an M3 or Mod a 318?

Who would pay 20k for a 20 year old shitbox?

Icey what you did there.

Keep your M42. 318i's are special.

Or if you enjoy working on your car and if you have the cash, swap in an S14 and perhaps even the E30 M3 5 lug suspension. A narrowbody M3 would be fairly unique.

I would rather have a 24v swapped 318i than an M3. The M3 I wouldn't want to drive year round since they are quite rare. A swapped 318i with a nice suspension setup would likely give the average enthusiast 95% of the experience at a 1/4 the price.

I've done the "mod a 318 thing. Doesn't make me not want an e30 m3 though.

But the great thing about the 318i is that I get to drive and see it every day in my work garage, instead of seeing it every day in my home garage and only driving it on the weekends.

.....e36 M3, bishes.

OP: from reading your posts, I can tell you now with confidence that an M3 is not for you. Mod your current E30.
