m50 e30 vs e36 m3

[mcgillaguddy]

mm good point.. but i happen to know that these HID's are blue... and yess I did quite a bit of the work to my e30, including the engine swap.. and I would love to buy a wrecked m3 for the parts but most of my money in the past year has been going to the state or college..

With what you say you have in your E30, I wouldn't.

Your e30 sounds to nice to trade plus sounds like you put a lot of work and time in it to make it the way you want. e36 m3 anyone can get and it wont be special to ya

[lolcantturn]

E30 M50 will keep up with an S50 E36 M3. Ask me how I know ;) Though I'm not sure if the 95 M3 came with an S50.

Judging by your list you've put a lot of time/money into the e30, so if you feel it's time to move on to a different project and/or challenge, then do so... But if your content with the e30 and enjoy the direction it's heading in, keep it.

Yeah the e36 will be faster, stop sooner, be semi updated looking and have 5 lugs already, but that e30 will put a fucking smile on your face guaranteed. E30's have souls and like to pleasure their masters haha

Book value/taxes & insurance on the M3 are significantly higher. Oh wait your in NH, you don't care about that stuff... Make the trade. If you don't like it, clean it up real nice and sell it. Then take a road trip tp FL or some other rust free area and buy an S50 swapped e30. It's not like you loose money on this deal, unless the M is crap.

At the end of the day I think you'd be happier with the e30, but at least take the e36 for a test drive, see how you like it. The e36 m3 is a great car and a lot of fun. I would be wary of the build date though, if it's an early 95 make sure the valve retainers were changed. Also I saw no mention of bushings or cooling system being touched, both notorious weak points of the e36. It may be that he doesn't want to pay for the maintenance coming up and that's why he's looking to trade.

1+ Only way I would ever swap is for a technoviolet 4 door =)

[Kershaw]

i'd do it.

e36s are much nicer cars than e30s. e30s look better though.

[Mercury[BKM]]

i would have already done this and gotten 500 bucks out of the guy

+1, E36 M3's are pretty much worthless. Unless they're super clean and/or rare, I don't see any reason to buy one over an E30. I would definitely keep your E30 considering they are increasing in value, and E36 Ms are plummeting.

I'd watch out for maintenance issues coming up on the e36. I love my 95 4dr e36 as a daily and wouldn't trade it but after a year of owning her she's really starting to get on my nerves with all the ridiculous crap that's breaking and falling apart.

Trade for the e36. You know you want it. Then you can swap the motor into a cheap shell and wala, upgrade!

it's voila not wala....
