Hi I just bought myself my first car ever BMW E36 316i 95' completely stock barely to no rust 107k miles overall good condition. I was thinking if i should save up the money for a M3 or something or keep investing into the e36 and make it how i want it to be?
My friends from work have newer bmw s but they just seem like boats to me and just kind of feel like "another bmw "
If i was to invest money into my bmw what should i buy?
(no cosmetic mods pls i like the stock look)
I was looking for a suspension ( aggressive street setup kind of thing) here http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...6/1995/316-1-6 but i have no idea which one is good

Save up for an m3

It does not seem like there are any good power mods for the 316. I guess susspention mods would be the best bang for the buck.
E36 M3 are cheap and common this side of the pond. How expensive and rare are they in Machester?

+1 for the E36 M3, you'll be really glad you did. That car is incredibly fun.

Looks like you're from the UK, unless Machester is not a typo for Manchester. Save up for an M3. Start today, as prices are increasing every minute.
You just got a 316i and already want to mod? Looks like you started off on the wrong.

If you're looking to upgrade power, then doing anything to a 316i is pretty much pointless. But if you're just looking for better driving feel, cheap suspension mods (lowering springs, etc) will make it much more fun to drive
