if you are this fickle of a consumer i shudder to imagine what all propaganda you would fall for

>>16901020
But the corvette and the gtr are faster?

Serious question. Is it only the E36 M3s everyone cares about, or are there any regular E36s that are desirable?

I'm asking because I know BMW fans also like the E39 540i, sometimes even more than the E39 M5.

>>16901168
328is, 97 or 98, was alright.
the rest of the lineup was just ok

>>16901020
Itll be a decade before they rise.

They have the unfortunate stigma of being boy-racer cars that were thrashed, Also the US market M3's weren't real M3's

>>16901168
People like e39 540i's becuase you get almost everything the M5 has with significantly less repair costs.

>>16901168
a 328is with m3 suspension parts will be pretty good

IS has LSD and the m52b28 gets that extra power

>>16901168
The 316i and the later 318i on the E46 are lighter frame wise than their larger engine counterparts I believe. They are popular choices for engine swaps. Also the American e36 M3 is crap compared to its euro counterpart, it's basically a 328i with a 3-3.2L engine.

No car expert here but I have a 98 328 is that just hot 100k and has been a great car. averaged out 1k a year for maintenance. I have a few dinan upgrades. Get lots of compliments and has aged very well. Owned her for 16 yrs and Def recommend

>>16901168
People like the 318Ti.

While I love watching these old Best Motoring videos, I wonder how much of an advantage some of the cars had by having the better tires from the factory.

>>16901205
No limited slip on those post 96

>>16902870
I legitimately think they're just biased against foreign cars. Compare their results to the ones from the same era American/European journalists with the same cars they test.

Took me long enough but I got to splicing in the city lamps (using the parking lamp constant which is modded to not work, only indicators).

I love it.

540 for cost/benefit

But E36 are good because of the chassis. You can build a competent track weapon with E36, if you up the susp and dump a powerful engine from M3 or whatever.

>>16901259
wait a min.. SO all IS models come with lsd?

Didnt know that... Seriously?

I gotta take the IS off my dads hands then.

>>16903766
E30 is gold price tier now.

E36 is coming up fast, tho still can be found cheaper than e30 in most cases.

>>16903892
Not sure where you are, but in .au all the Jap coupes seem to go up in price every time you blink

Fuck it, I'm gonna get an e46 before they start appreciating. Last true BMW

>>16903825
And naother $50k and time for keeping those in running condiutions

>le slower than a minivan meme

anything is slower than a minivan with a internet shitposter behind the wheel

>>16901281
yeah except for the m3 brakes m3 suspension m3 chassis m3 rear end/diff m3 seats etc

the euro and american models are the same exact shit just 50whp different. the american models were also $40,000 brand new in 1997 while the european models went for the equivalent of $60,000. its why they sold so many american models.

if you had $60,000 in 1997 would you go for a M3 or a Porsche 911?

>>16901051
Because the 86 isn't actually as slow as the meme make out.

>>16903825
Yeah nah
