You don't need to ride the wave to own an E36 M3. My Brother In Law picked this one up about a year ago for $2800 from a guy on CL, who just didn't care about it anymore.
Car his high mileage but is CLEAN and was always mechanically maintained with an open check book.
And you really do need to drive one before knocking it. They're GREAT (imho of course
)
