OP's a dumbass. With decent tires or a halfway competent driver that probably wouldn't have happened. I personally loved my e36, and even with all the work that's been done to my e30 it still doesn't hold a candle to how well the e36 handled.

I own both and I wouldn't at all say that an E36 is a bad thing at all. E30 is more fun to drive though - I will concede that.Originally posted by matthugie View PostOP's a dumbass.

Ok my opinion. Scratch that, FACT.
e36 is faster than an e30. S50 for s50, e36 is still faster. E36 is more predictable than e30,will always lay down more contact patch than e30. (which makes your story flawed). E36 rear suspension is far superior to e30.
And thats all there is to it.
Would I trade my e30 for e36 M3? Thought about it, but probably not.-Jay

I think a lot of the pro E30 talk is really to do a lot with the fact that the E30 has a much sportier stock suspension setup compared to the E36.
My E30 318iS absolutely runs rings around my E36 328i (euro alloy block) for agility when it was stock.
Both the cars have M-Tech suspension from factory and the E30 had a much more neutral balance whereas the E36 had a much greater tendency to understeer. However, now that the E36 is on Eibach springs the E36 handles much better as the car feels much more neutral.
Not to mention the fact that the E36's body structure is MUCH stiffer than an E30 but is also heavier.
I also find that the E36 is much more stable at very high speeds as well.Leo.

Now lets flash forward to 2011 when I have an E30, about a week ago right after it rained. I took the same exact onramp at the same speed and lost control, only this time.. the E30 didnt fail me and I was able to steer out of it!
So what did I learn from all this??
A- E30 > E36
and
B- I gotta drive safer after it rains lolYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I've had 3 e36's. And I vow to never get another one. Don't get me wrong the e36 is a machine, I just feel like the e30 gives more road feedback. Feels more lively. E30 or bust.I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)
