    Need advice with M3 and a E30

    Hey guys I have a question for you all... I have a 1990 325I that I love a lot, well my wife said to me after I get my new job at the beginning of next year. I can get my favorite BMW's ever maid a E36 M3... Now I want to keep my E30 because I plan on fixing it up and turbo the M20 and I love it..

    So the question is ... If I were to get a M3 would I not like my E30 any more? Thanks Guys.....

      saves on the maint. and repair costs, insurance, storage etc. of having two cars.
      If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

        E36 M3 is a good fun car, it is no e30 though. Honestly if you love the e30 I also agree with the above. S50 or 52 is perfect in the e30.

          build quality of a e30 >>> e36. ive driven several of both the chassis, and can say that the e30 driving experience is far superior, and the e36 has more of a 'run of the mill' feeling.

                  I bought a brand-new E36 in 1999 to "replace" my E30. I ended up selling the E36 an going back to my E30.

                  E36 = shit build quality + looks like a '90s Honda Accord

                  E30 = God's charriot
