have owned my coupe since new in 1998. it has 75k miles and all available dinan parts minus the SC.
Just picked up the 98 3/4/5 in October and have been getting it back to new. as mentioned in the other post i got the car from: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-bmw-m3-sedan-12/
This car is going to be my DD and contemplating doing the top half of the motor by one of our resident board members and adding a 6 speed and different gears.
Have had the 95 LTW for about a year and half and still haven't had a chance to drive it. it has 12k miles and is a trophy of sorts.
and joe is building me an e30 m3 like his: http://www.joebmwmotorsport.com/
pretty excited to have gotten the m3 bug back...its been a while but the love never went away.
Your enthusiasm is an asset to the board and your collection is to be envied.
Looking forward to progress pics of the 3/4/5 and e30 m3.

I moved the OBC and AC as well, would like to see how you choose to blend it.
Nice collection, the LTW looks like a toy car it's so pristine.
That is a lot of nice M3s

This question may have an obvious answer IDK, but, where did you get that climate control unit with the square lower corners?

the updated KW suspension and brakes def give a new car feel. the upgraded audio with the pioneer double din brings the car pretty close to current day technology. the functionality of the 4 door and backseats has been huge with little kids playing sports etc. The short shifter makes me want to go up and down through the gears even when its not needed. I'm having the seat motors and skins rebuilt in a cple weeks. The car is a pure pleasure to drive and brings me back 20 years. new cross and strut braces are going in soon as well. Replacing all the molding has reduced wind noise back to nil. Next project im going to mull over is do i do a SC, built top half the motor, or e46 motor and which 6 speed. My goal is to maximize power as a function of drivability and usability as i'm DDing this car.
This is on its way

Looking mighty clean!! Original owner here too!
One of the last remaining members of the E36 M3 original owners club...a dying breed indeed.
And another one.. (A dying breed...lol) The only problem with a DD unit is that I'd lose the VDO gauges. With a supercharger, water temp and oil pressure are must haves.
No matter where you go, there you are...
i hear ya, im probably staying naturally aspirated...and i like how the pioneer lights can be set to match the other orange lights
As my sig indicates, my 99 has a cammed S50B32 with a SuperSprint exhaust and it loves to rev. I listen to the radio in the car so little that I have to refer to the owners docs to remember the radio code. At home, I'll listen to the sound system.

Nice collection! I put a Nak CD500 in my LTW, the speakers (or lack thereof) are so bad you can barely hear anything and it sounds like its coming from a set of headphones.
Ha. I had all my speakers replaced when i did the pioneer
