E36 Content, talk me into/out of this.

[CarsonE30]

Alright guys, I currently daily an E34 540i that I love but I've had my eye on E36's as a daily lately but this car seems like a good deal for the price, local to me, 184k, misfire on cylinder 3. Talk me into or out of this car r3v, make mind up!

Edit: Interior pics added!

That color throws my brain for a loop.



Maybe it needs some wire wheels.

[CarsonE30]

Okay nevermind, don't want it anymore

Why would you consider getting an automatic M3, let alone one with that many miles? That defeats the purpose of an M car, doesn't it?

I'd say look for another, OP. Who knows what secret nightmares might be lurking under that hood.

[george graves]

That's not an M3.

Angel eyes, faded m3 badge, something funky with the front bumper. Someone did some serious "ebay modding" to that poor (stock, non-M) car.

I have a full 5 speed swap in my garage ready for a car, I'd probably say fuck it and keep the E34 and make a track car out of this, screw practicality. Under the hood is what's holding me back though, not sure what could be there

Like every car I look at, I'm gonna run the vin, will report back

I'd still say keep looking. If you ever find a Technoviolet/Daytonaviolet E36 M3 in your search, buy it. I'm biased, but I think those are the best colors on an M3 other than Avus Blue and Hellrot.

Techno is the dream E36 no question, I agree 100%

Which color is that? The one for sale that is.

What are you talking about? It has all the lux package M3 stuff on it - side trim, door panels, steering wheel, sport seats, cluster needles, mirrors, wheels, bumper, headliner...

I'd daily an auto e36 m3 in a heartbeat.

Some custom color, couldn't tell ya

that is not a custom color, it is a desirable, rare factory BMW individual color called Byzanz. I really like it, here's the M3 I used to own:

That's a real color?! Holy hell I would've never guessed, it says it's custom in the ad but damn, it is pretty

[kronus]
