    5 Reasons Why I Bought A Rusty E36 M3 Over The 'Superior' E46 M3

    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    I'd take a euro spec E36 M3 over an E46 M3 too but as he touches on in the video, we got the short end of the stick with the E36.

    Interesting how rare those E36 M3's are across the pond as well... <500 still on the road? I think there are at least 500 just in California...

    A 300+ hp E36 M3 is much better than a 200+ hp E36 M3. I remember having an interesting conversation with someone overseas when the E46 M3 came out. Guy was complaining how it was only a small HP increase and sales would be down because of it. While I was telling him people here would be jumping head over heels for them because for us it was almost 100+ HP. And they were when they first came out. People were struggling to get their hands on the new because 240HP was equivalent to what you could get in a Honda Accord V6.
