Haha I’ll think about it but don’t know how long it’ll be in my hands tbh

Bro is single handedly making me want to sell my 5speed 4runner to get an E36

Don't sell your 4runner bud

I still want one

Plotting my own path to an e36. Love the drive and talk angle but anchor it a bit better so it doesn't wiggle!

2 years ago I convinced myself to buy a 1997 E36 320i convertible. My daily is a 2019 120i. A great, great little car! Naturally, driving the E36 is a different experience compared to the 120i. The E36 is rewarding in its own way. It makes you feel more connected to the road. The manual gear box is great. The steering is precise. And the humming song of the straight six is wonderful. It has AFAIK never been driven in the winter time, and I will only drive it May to September. No problems yet. It starts just fine. No noises that shouldn't be there. We'll see. So far, so good. 😅

Old car problems haha. I feel you man. My E30 is 38 years old. And my E46 M3 is 19 years old. Guess what though… I’m a masochist so I still want an E36 M3 knowing the newest one is 25 years old 🤣🤣🤣

Thats awesome!

Bro your videos are awesome! I have an old German car too, a 2004 Mercedes S600 with a V12 Biturbo, I bought it with lots of problems too, the car had ABC suspension which is hydraulic, it failed and the car completely sagged, so I installed Coilovers and now the only issue it has is an annoying battery drain which is related to my cluster, and of course oil leaks, which for 20+ year old German cars are OK. I want to make videos of the S600 like you! I plan on buying an E36 M3 sedan, i love how they look. I think it would be a nice second car, more “reliable”, like a daily driver! I’m also from the MA area!

e36 m3 ftw

I've got a 2006 330i and I'm on the brink of selling it and getting a new econobox lol. I've dailied the car for almost 7 years now and have definitely spent an arm and a leg on repairs and preventative maintenance to keep it clean and mechanically solid. A couple days ago the sunroof completely messed up and is stuck open with bent parts....it's always something. Good luck with your bimmer journey, alls to say it will probably be exciting in one way or another!

The biggest problem with the E36 is that it's been a boyracers dream for 30 years at this point. They are so good cars and handle awesome when done right, but they've all been taken apart and fucked with by any number of idiots and put back together with zipties and other wonky shenanigans. It's hard to actually find a good, clean unmolested one. Like, BMW knew they fucked up on the E36 interior and got a bit cheap, cause the E46 interior is so much better. The powertrain is mostly bulletproof tho. A good "hack" to get a non molested one is getting automatics and manual swapping it. You'll get shock towers and subframes that aren't blown out by wannabe drifters. It's not that difficult of a swap and can be done in a weekend with time for a few beers in between.

Yes. Non-abused ones are safely sleeping in garages and rarely come up for sale (like mine 😁)

I want to add e36 m3 as daily. Considering selling the m4 and get e9x m3 and daily e36 m3

Nice video. Great cars. Thoughts on these wheels? Im torn w my 23s, some days i like em some days i dont. May splurge on bbs but at $4k i feel money can go elsewhere on to the e36.

@Ian-yt

6 ай бұрын

Yeah I’m in the camp that wheels come after everything else on these cars, also depends on if it’s a show car vs driver vs autocross or track build, 4k is a good rainy day find for the health of the car

The reason why your horn and airbags are disconnected is because the sport z3 m style wheel was only meant for 98” and 99” e36 m3s that came with completely different steering clock springs. That’s the reason why your missing the metal ring and the air bags have different connectors. So theirs no real way to connect it unless if you buy a older wheel like the m-tech 2 wheel

@Ian-yt

5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info! I swapped on the 4 spoke stock wheel that came with this exact m3. The previous owner literally cut all the wiring so I’m going to have to strip and connect and buy new connectors it looks like :/. And the white pogo contact for the horn is broken into two pieces so I have to get one of those too

Lmao my 95 m3 is so fucked but fun the luxury package interior is just dying slowly.It’s Boston green doe so everything worth it in the end

I know what’s wrong with your steering wheel. I just did a 4 spoke to 3 spoke conversion.

@Mmunchies

5 ай бұрын

kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2pkwdepcqjOZcY.html whoever modded that 3spoke in did not salvage the old horn connector from the 4 spoke wheel. Your airbag in that z3 wheel does not take a clock ring with the metal ring on the back. The video I linked above should reveal your solution.
