I've watched Thom work on this top over the last few months and the amount of labor he has put into this project is staggering. If the production tops come out as good as the prototype, you guys are...

I restored and sold my '66 in 2001 for $10,000. It was given as a wedding gift by the buyer to his wife. It was probably in nicer shape than your average KG cabrio, I used to show it fairly often:...

I think it's sad that your primary motivator in buying a car is what it'll be worth when you sell it. I buy mine to drive and enjoy. And HOT DAMN I enjoy driving my M3!!!

The E36 M3's oil pump is chain driven from the crank. The cams are also chain driven.

Like I said...*most*.

I really don't think a 1995 M3 will be any more or less reliable than a 1995 Porsche. If they were as bad as Steve seems to insist, they certainly wouldn't have the...

Simply and categorically untrue if you have even slight mechanical inclination. I'd be willing to bet most people on this board do their own wrenching. Mine is approaching 100K, has been very...

Maybe, if you can't turn a wrench yourself. I'm guessing that's not the case with Thom. Your statement could apply to ANY car, even (gasp) a Porsche.

Wow, can you tell me what next week's lottery numbers are, too?

Seriously, you have convinced me. I now totally hate my M3 and I'm going to sell it tomorrow, regardless of the fact that it's been...

I'm sure there have been cases of M3 trannies taking a dump, just like 911 trannies. I spend a LOT of time on the M3 boards, and E36 M3 tranny failures are not common. I can't remember the last...

Couldn't say, I haven't had to replace mine. Neither has any other M3 owner I know. I'm sure someone has, just nobody *I* know.

It's taken all the abuse I can throw at it and then some. And...

Please share with us *your* personal experience with the E36 M3. Not your friends' experience, yours.

I have never met an M3 owner (myself included) that didn't absolutely love the car.

At Thom's suggestion, I forwarded this link to the Sacramento BMW M-car list. Hopefully we'll stir up some additional interest, as long as you Porsche snobs don't mind running alongside some BMWs......
