Amazing! Inspiring me to up my game when I start working on my car.

[Billyp7718]

Bought a 65k example for $24k. It was immaculate and fully documented so I figured it saved me a few weekends of deep detailing.

Probably overpaid, but it was the nicest e36 I've seen in years and nearly exactly the dream build I wanted (preferred 1998.5 in Titanium Silver and fold down seats and no wing while the car is a 12/97 build in Arctic Silver with a wing)

It did need a few things like tires and new headliner. The 5th gear shifter gate is also sticky while the clutch was replaced 10k miles ago and the shop didn't know to do the bushings at the same time.

I'm doing a few other preventative maintenance things like brakes, RTAB, and RSM.

It's going to become one of the daily drivers in my rotation of cars and I don't commute for work much (work at home) so the miles will remain low. Plan to keep the car as stock as possible except for RSM, RTAB, and speakers (Bav Sound kit). Also installing a Euro BMW headunit from a newer car (Becker 7969)

Nice find. If you look at valuations on these from Hagerty, the high mileage beaten down cars are actually going down in value where the low mileage unmolested examples are going up in e36.

Hell if M3’s are fetching $20k you can have mine, I parked it a month ago and could use the room. You can take the blower kit too.

I'll be selling mine soon. Its likely going to be close to that 20k asking price though, and probably isn't worth that haha.

Not allowed to drive modified cars In Vancouver anymore.

[propcar]

you serious? BC that serious? NVM just read on m3forum

I went and read your story on m3forum too - I don't even know what to say. That is so sad. I also found this from last month: https://globalnews.ca/news/4432362/k...fied-vehicles/

It certainly sounds like a witch hunt - and exactly as you described. A mechanic can pronounce the car safe, and officer Doofenshmirtz can pull you over again as you leave the shop.

I also find it ironic that your LTW front and rear aero bits aren't what's being cited, but things they can't even see.

Don't you guys have a prosecutor or something there you can talk to? Or go to traffic court? One victory and the judge could order the cops to stop picking on people and focus on the really dangerous ones (or better yet, go work on fighting some real crime instead of make-work). My dad was a prosecutor for years and there were many times he'd go down to the police department and tell them to stop issuing certain kinds of citations that they were just making up.

I hate to see you get ramrodded like this.

[TostitoBandito]

Yeah that sucks. I don't think that would ever fly in most of the US for similar reasons as to why we have so many guns, but I wouldn't complain if they went and got some of the legitimately dangerous cars off the road. Like the gigantic lifted coal rolling trucks and cars that have been stanced so much they have no suspension travel and can't navigate a parking lot. Using that as an excuse to get rid of ANY modified car is ridiculous. If your car can pass whatever legitimate emissions/safety inspection it has to pass, you should be allowed to drive it on the road. If they want to ban you, they should have to be able to prove that your modifications are unsafe or unlawful (like in the case of a very loud exhaust).

Child is negotiable

[earthwormjim]

Dude did you seriously delete your previous post and repost after my mine to "bump" your visibility? I guess it's safe to say there are at least 2 children in your family lol

Do both of you need to post ads for your own cars in this thread?

That’s kinda my thought as well

[1993E36M3]

I just bought a 1993 e36 m3 5 speed for 2,000 all i had to do is put a battery and alternator in. Did i score or ooverpay? Also is ther any prevenative measures that are a must with theses cars? Idk what breaks first

[carguyspeaks]

I think there are still great deals for E36s out there. You just have to look where the sellers aren’t enthusiasts.

1993E36M3, Seems like you did pretty well to me.


(I’ll try not to reply twice, damn Tapatalk app doesn’t like my iPhone’s connection today)

Paid 6k for clean, rust free, 99k mi 1998 M3. Very happy. As you can see from my join date, I've been lurking for awhile!

Now that's a smoking deal! The idiots on BAT would of bid that car up to $20k.

[notMpowered]

Who’s the idiot if they can afford to spend 20k on a 6k car?

They are.

Considering M3's in the US weren't made until 1995, i would say you probably did pretty bad if someone convinced you that you were buying an M3

Or pretty good if he bought a eurospec for 2k.

[TostitoBandito]

One which had a coveted 5-speed swap.

Edit - nevermind, just remembered they were 5 speeds until 95 or 96.
