Convince me to not buy a E36 M3 , Protip: You Wont

>>16562702
The car will be a broken shitbox. Right now you fantasize about fixing it up and it being like a real manly project for you to do in your man cave (lol) but after a couple of weeks of and more wasted money on parts, you're going to lose interest (and subconsciously realize you're not up to the task of doing something more complicated than a simple oil change) and leave the car to rot in your garage. Many men have been through the exact same experience and you can find them on craigslist. After leaving the car collecting dust in your garage for a couple more years, you'll put up one of those ads that says "project car. runs good but didn't have time to finish" or "runs great, just needs x part that is simply installed. parts extra."

But OP can proudly join the ranks of beamer fags getting butthurt when they overhear someone say they have to fix endless amounts of expenssive little shit all the time just to drive a plastic nigger mobile.

Ouch bmws taking a beating here. It's a cool car. I think you'll enjoy it. What's not to like really? Well equipped powerful (for the time) car that still looks ok.

Even to this day BMW still uses lug bolts

>>16562950
Why do you think that is an issue? Everything else in >>16562923

>>16562923
Shit backwards sprung flywheels instead of discs.
Just shit clutches in general.

Lug bots are annoying when your impact gunning them off you have to do a stupid little dance to grab the bolts and hold the wheel and pick up/put down you gun.....
studs=no stupid beamer fag dancing.

If you're that much of a noob you can just use guide rods

>>16563067
Sorry intriggered tour beamer ass madness.....
Fuck guide rods..... sounds like some beamer fag snake oil tool you got suckered into paying too much for.
Literally no shop I have ever worked for was gay enough to have purchased "Guide rods" to put on bmw wheels.
You just put the annoying wheel on and your happy when you get to work.
Soo much better on a non stupid car with traditional studs which are faster and less stupid and don't require some douche to tell you you should'a thrown your money in the trash for some "guide rods"

>>16563067
Thats a ferarri eith ceramic brakes you dumb fuck
Not an shitty bummer e36
Y dont you stick a guide rod up your ass, throw your wallet in a wood chipper and commit arson on the bank where you keep all your money.
Then proceed to kill ones self.

>>16563118
Kek
Yeah that sounds safe.

>>16563101
People use guide rods so they don't drop a wheel and shatter a $10k carbon rotor. You don't have to use them if you don't want to, I never do. If taking a wheel off with bolts is too difficult for you you probably shouldn't work on cars at all, but considering you think $10 to spend on a tool is too much I already know you don't wrench.

>>16563147
I didn't say it's too difficult..... i said its inferior, slower, and annoying compared to studs.
Dont try to take me out of context to lessen your rectal throbbage.

This is probably the biggest reason. The USDM verison of the E36 M3 was seriously gimped, and you'd be better off paying more for an E46.

However, this isn't a problem if you're in Europe.

personally I did the wheel juggle/dance while holding a 17mm socket with a wheel bolt trying to line shit up. Shop foreman had the guide bolt/studs, they were neat. Especially on those fucking 21 inch x5 wheels. What the fuck BMW, 305's in the rear, seriously?

Was fairly easy to do while the car is on a hoist, I have yet to do it on the side of the highway at night in the rain.

e36 m3 is overpriced just because "MUH M BADGE" 330ci = faster, newer, superior handeling

it's a good car

E36 is a godmachine. The key is to get a low mileage, we'll maintained one.

>>16563691
It is good car.

>>16563711

Does the strut always fall out with the wheel when the lug bolts fail?

>>16563752
It does when the driver is on shrooms

>>16563747
Uh yeah. You said that.
Is that all the english you know?
Is a good car is a good car is a good car, my fwien.

>>16563752
Good attention to detail.
Now the question should be why the hell does the strut just fall out without any obvious other damage than that that was caused by the strut just falling out?

Best side mirrors
Best seats (coupe)
Sweet handling
Nice price
Low maintenance as far as m cars go
Good all around driver's car
