Great daily driver. Just add fuel and perform basic maintenance, then you are done. Spend all your time and $$$ on Annie.

I bought this'98 E36 M3 two years ago from an 85 y/o woman in Portland Oregon. The car only had 10,600 miles on it!!! I still try and keep the mile low but it has just over 20K on it now. My last one, a '97, had 130K on it when I sold it so I know my future holds at least another 100K trouble free miles. The only problem with this car is that A/T. I hate the slush boxes in Bimmers!!! It is possible to swap a 6spd manual from an E46 and I can see where it would be a worthwile investment on this car considering the miles...but then again, I could go buy a manual E46 Laguna seca blue M3...hmmmmmmmmm. Decisions, decisions...

Wow - I thought mine was low mile! From what I read, the 5 speed swap is very straightforward. Haven't heard anything about a 6.

Mark,
Are you thinking of doing the manual trans swap?

Is there a thread somewhere that tells the story of you getting Warren's '73 911S? Sorry if I missed it, don't visit the 911 board much anymore.

No, the slushbox is perfect for my needs.

Denis,
I haven't talked about it much. Details will come later.
