Just Joined The Craze...

I was talking engine specifically... don't remember mentioning anything about the chassis/suspension.

And just FYI... not only are there cars on here that sell for well over what an good e36 m3 sells for (~$9000 if mint), but there are much faster cars too.

Hell my turbo 4 pot is faster than a stock e36m3 by a decent amount.

I'm glad you have love for your car, but representing it as a "faster," "more reliable," and better car is a bit off base.

And you assuming people on this board haven't owned e36's is not very mature either. I've owned 2 of them. A 325i and a 328is. It's a decent car, but not as fun to drive, or as well built as the e30.

Look, there is no reasoning with this guy... can we just get the ban stick out? I know Farbin insinuated it... but I'm just gonna say it.

Reasoning? I'm saying people shouldn't flame the OP for his (quite nice) other car that is sitting alongside the vert in the pictures...

Don't post up fan boy stuff if you don't wanna get it refuted. Makes sense seeing "just ban him" when you don't agree and can't make an effective argument.

If you wanna say you can build a faster E30 for less money, I might not disagree with you - but if you do the same mods to an E36 it will be faster due to the modern suspension design.

I looked at your turbo build thread, thumbs up there - I'd drive your car.

I am not saying everyone should run out and buy an E36 M3 - there are faster cars you can get for less $$$, but what I AM saying is that anyone who starts talking about how it isn't a "real" M3 is just a moron who doesn't belong near a performance car.

oh, cut it out.

Unless you own an E36 M3, you're not qualified to make this sort of statement.

I own a US spec M3 and it isn't a "fancy 328i" as some jealous non-owners try to assert.

The engine may have hydraulic valve actuation and no ITBs but the difference ends there.

For USA we're minus the more powerful engine and floating rotors, that is all. The suspension setup is identical to the euro M3 (and different from any non-M E36).

I understand that some E30 owners who can't afford even a US spec M3 might try to feel good by cutting down E36 M3 owners like Tom, but that is all you are doing - trying to feel good.

I drove "accident"'s E30 325is, and I can definitely see why some people say E30 cars are more fun to drive. It was awesome. But don't hate on newer/faster M3s by spewing this type of crap.

accidents e30 does not qualify you for your response.


Seriously.


SERIOUSLY

[Farbin Kaiber]

It does not quantify it either.

[Stephen]

or pastuerize it.

M is just a letter, I'm talking about the car itself...

I've made my points here, and I still like E30s no matter how many delusional owners of them I'll encounter on forums.

[Stephen]

So then were not jealous?

[xcore]

guys~there is a reason why bmw use the 4 banger instead of the 6 in the M~any of u saying swap the m50/s5x and housepower, u just have no clue about e30 and bmw.
clearly u guys also know nothing about e36 and the M, stop talk like u get a clue~you just dont
and is some of you saying that bmw is reinforcing the body with the soft top assemble?

Your car, do what you want, I only have one slight problem. What you are doing by saving weight will make the car handle like utter shit and will probably twist the whole frame under load. All that metal is there for a reason and that is why the convertible weighs significantly more than the sedan version.

[Stephen]

Yes, some of us is saying that.
