    not true. I pretty much got mine for 3500 or so. clean title 190k , decent paint , clean engine , coilovers , nice dual spintech exhaust. needs a clutch ( have found one but need a LTW flywheel )

    If you search then you shall find. Like I said Ive never paid more than 1500 for a e30. Out of the 5 only one was a total POS and I paid 300 for that car.

    But then again im a cheap ass and only jump on the deals i mean steals ;)

      is this true? if so then "e" injectors would be an upgrade to an "i" car correct?

      and between "e" and "i" spark plugs; is there a real difference?
      or get 24v 4-pintle 17# if you're looking for an 'upgrade'

        Go with some M50/S52 17lb injectors.

        Yes the e and i use a different part number spark plug.

        Myster-E would probably do it for you this weekend if you hit him up. Make sure you buy the whole hub assembly with bearing AND a new nut.

        A cheap M3 is almost never actually cheap. You get what you pay for. If you thought maintaining your E30 was a challenge have fun with the E36 M3... Parts cost a bit more. I know because I've replaced them all LOL.

          Most I ever paid for an E30 was $5500. Sentimental value is expensive!

            Besides, you could get an s4 for less than an e36 m3. Cough cough.

                  You won't want to own the S4 after working on it. Such terrible design choices, especially when you have the correct part number, but it still won't work as you have the revision, but the part it mates to is the older revision, yet there is little information on it. Oh, and the suspension.....blows. If you are worried about running costs, the S4 eclipses the E36 M3s.

                      That's always been Audi, even now newer Audi owners spend more time in the dealer loaner car then they do their own :rofl:
