So what does something like that set a guy back? And I don't have to have a showroom car... just a good runner...

I see people asking $15k for good ones but I think they're dreaming since higher mileage E46 M3s can be had in the mid-teens w/ a scuff or two in the paint. Seems like nice ones go for maybe $9k out on the street. (Or less).

Reading of your experience with the 3 series helped in my decision. They certainly have their weak spots, but those weaknesses are pretty easily identified and repaired. |

Oh yeah . . and they don't have the really low CG of a 911.
Try to keep the shiny-side up . . on your daily drive.

Good score Mark. That car has aged very well. With the earliest models now over 15 years old they still look modern and give up very little performance-wise to contemporary cars. There are lots of exotics in my neighborhood but its the 96' Estoril blue coupe with CSL wheels a few doors down from me that always turns my head - beautiful car.

Yeah, the E36 M3 has aged very well. It's proportions, wheels, etc. are "just right" for a small Euro sport sedan, IMO.
Love the Techno Violet, TV and Dakar Yellow were kind of the "signature colors" for the E36 M3. The automatic is a deal killer for most used E36 M3 buyers, but as long as it works for you. |
