Finally got an m3
Bought the nicest e36 for the money I could find. Will be mostly track car, occasionally driven to work when it's nice out. It's a god damned blast to drive

Btw you'll probably want to replace the harness bar with a half cage (CCA and NASA won't pass that for tech inspection). For auto-x that's fine though.

How fast does it feel compared to the 330i? I always thought these two cars would be pretty evenly matched when you compare stats.

Similar power to weight ratio... but a few bunfred less pounds, a lot more camber really makes it fun at the glen. The 330i is no doubt a great jack of all trades though.

Congrats. The old e36 are stubborn old mules and can go for decades of track day fun.
Yours was a 'luxury edition' with the faux wood trim inside. The 8-way power seats BMW installed weighed about 90# each. Comfy but good riddance for anything fun. The two-bar front mouth insert is irreplaceable. I got some screaming good deals on new fender liners and radiator belly pans from Taiwan on rock auto recently. Search by part number, they weren't listed under make/model. I could go on writing a book with recommendations, but it's nothing that hasn't been written 1,000 times before. Enjoy  |
