Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Just wondering if there are any BMW M3 fans here? I drove a couple of them in different generations and really didn't care much, I like TORQUES. Anyway, today I saw this and shat in my pants http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-bmw-m3-23/ 3 days left still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 100 mile lightweight? Yea.. that'll go from one euro collector to another. No way anyone actually buys that to drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 For that price I sure hope it doesn't have the bastardized US-spec parts. The price of exclusivity :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way anyone actually buys that to drive it. Ya think? Whoever buying have enough disposable income to do so. This particular M3 will probably never be driven in a normal manner ever. May be in a museum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 After driving a regular 3 series for work i was disappointed with a test drive in a M. I dunno maybe you gotta beat the shit out of it to get the best from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 No need to shit your pants over an E36 M3; I used to have two '98 M3s, an Arctic Silver Coupe and a Techno Violet Sedan. Both had a manual transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 100 mile lightweight? Yea.. that'll go from one euro collector to another. No way anyone actually buys that to drive it. If I win the lottery, I'm buying cars meant to be driven and driving them. The rarer the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 If I win the lottery, I'm buying cars meant to be driven and driving them. The rarer the better.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Go look up current e30 M3 values if you want a surprise. I knew what e30 M3 go for. You don't see those everyday. E36 M3s are everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 When the cars were new, I had a friend that worked at the local Porsche/BMW dealer who gave me a ride in a lightweight M3. Other than it is a 1 of 100 car, there is no real different feeling from a common e36 M3. The only thing I think is cool on the car is that the doors are aluminum and the skin is thin, but it's not something you would notice. I remember beating the piss out of a friends new M3 back in 1997 and being really impressed with the car, and then testing driving another friends car that I was considering buying in 2012 and thinking how ordinary it felt. To be honest I like driving the 318 versions of the e36 better because they remind me of my old 2002. It's one of those cars that was really great for it's time and is still mostly good but a new hatchback fwd ford will blow its doors off. BMW collectors are starting to get like those Porsche dildos who buy things like 1 of 4.5 special edition super ugly color combos and then seal them up in a climate controlled tomb. I'm happy there is 1 lightweight car preserved for historical purposes but I'm more glad $4k will buy you a decent e36 M3 to beat the piss out of.

RyM3rC Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm more glad $4k will buy you a decent e36 M3 to beat the piss out of. Maybe for a rusty, automatic, salvage title car or vert. Reasonably solid e36ms are still $6k-$8k, and a nice one will be even more. The automatics are worth MUCH less, the auto verts are almost worthless. But they're no fun at all to drive. If we got the euro cars for euro prices, I'd be all over one in a heartbeat for the $8k they sell for in ROW. But, the same can be said of all the evos, rx7s, etc that don't have the insane fanboi markup overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're no fun at all to drive. $6K-8K is still a pretty good price considering the platform. I dunno though, $6-8K on CL or cars.com sure, but if you really look outside you can probably find a clean, albeit high mileage, example closer to $4K. Another friend offered me his 2 owner dakar yellow m3 5 speed coupe with 167,000 miles on it for $4500 last year and it was bone stock unmolested. I balked because I had bought the E90 sedan. but you are probably right most $4K cars will be this: https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/5987353063.html But then again, for a performance car beater you can DD with 0 fucks given and then set on fire and walk away if something major happens - it's still a pretty good value. despite being an automatic I think this is a pretty good deal for a near 20 year old DD: https://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/cto/5971027661.html but AutoLOL. I'd pay $2K more to have the manual if I was considering buying one: https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/5960932243.html to be honest though, I would actually rather have this: https://annarbor.craigslist.org/cto/5977847624.html the last spiritual successor to the 2002, e21, and e30 4 cyl cars. It's not valuable, it's punchy, it's light, and nobody will give it a second look. You can auto-x it, DD it, it's hugely upgrade-able, and just a simple honest fun car to drive. If i could get one with crank windows and a set of weber side draft carbs I would be in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mart Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 E36 M3s are a dime a dozen. Lightweights are a different animal. E30 M3s are just silly. I got mine on a discount for not having an S14 in it and, frankly, that is the only way I would buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
