Cordell Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Go buy a retired vehicle from a funeral home. Or how bout a limo rollin on dubs. Seriously, f-body, GTO, Vette, order a new Camaro. Turbocharge your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah, I'm going to go test drive that. That was clean looking. I love the wheels on those, and I think the Dinan parts aren't too bad $$$ wise. http://www.dinancars.com/store/home.php?&cat=263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the F-body comment. What is so boring about your truck? Do you want something flashy, or fast, or good handling? I personally have had 5 S10s and don't mind driving them, but 1 had a 350 in it, and the other nice one was a vortec 4.3. I thought the power was fun in such a light vehicle.

AudiOn19s Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 That M3 is giving me a chubby. As far as parts go...E36 parts are actually really reasonable now unless you really break something big. My personal opinion is you're gonna really enjoy driving the car but come away from it wishing it had more power. But again, for the money one of the most entertaining, do everything drivers on the road. Every time I drive my brothers I try to buy it off of him. The '96 - '97 cars are the bargains if you can find one in good condition. '95's still tend to hold value pretty well as the OBDI is saught after. If you want more power in heavier (yet arguably better for DD) package E46 M3's are getting cheaper for the early cars. '01's with mileage are in the mid 20's now...but maintenance will be higher becuase of the solid lifter setup and parts are still quite a bit more expensive for the E46 vs. E36.

kenny Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 It's slow as balls, handles like shit and stops slow. Not to mention all the little crap that breaks on S10s, 3rd door handle, recline lever on the seats, the HVAC valve, wiper motor circuit, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I daily my e36 M3 and enjoy it. It's nice enough that I don't feel like I'm driving a piece of crap around, but it's not so nice that I feel bad driving it every day. I'm not beating on mine as much as I used to but I've been able to get a consistent 25mpg on a tank. My commute is mostly highway though so that helps. If you can afford an e46 M3 they're pretty much better in every way, but also more expensive in every way as well, so that's up to you to decide how much you want to spend on a daily. The e36 M3 is far from fast, but it's still a very fun car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the e36 M3 but it was a bit small for me. It would be an amazing DD...my only suggestion would be to purchase a set of winter rims with blizzaks. My 540i does just fine in the winter with the traction control off and snow tires. Let me know if you get it...I wouldnt mind some spirited driving. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car is an amazing toy especially as a daily. I'm just an awd addict. Those cars take to a mild turbo kit very well Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
