Another thread on buying an M3

[m3f_Edgy_592e912c16]

Will do, Rod. Nice ride you have there, though no M3... I had Toyo T1-S's on my first M3, liked a lot.



FYI I got my current M3 through Carmax, you never know, and it's easy to search nationwide. Search the thread "Back on the Road" if you're interested.



I'll PM you with some listings. Under 16K may be an issue, the ones listed tend to be very clean and pricey.

ya, its not an M3, when the Z first came out my jaw about hit the floor, it is a car that I really really loved the looks of (opinion). I am not as passionate about the car when people run 17"s, but when they are done up right, I think they are very attractive. I was sort of in the in-between market, I didn't have enough for a E46 M3, but more than a E36, I was looking at used 993s (the air-cooled engine and maintainance scared me), used NSXs (but for mid 30s you have to get a very old one), and used M3s (I for some reason felt like I would always look at the E46 with envy if I got a E36, I know longer feel that way as a E36 done up right looks very good and is a relatively great price for what you get).



WHen my bro told me he needed to get a less expensive used car instead of a used 993 or a new G35 coupe, he began looking at used Accord coupes and CLs (he was sort of bummed out because even though those cars are good reliable cars, they are nothing really to be passionate about and not all that fun). I suggested he look at the M3, since it is a very fun car and practical too. I think it is the perfect car for many people, too bad the E46 costs so much now, the E36 was such a great buy and a great car. My dad had a 95 back then and we are very very familiar with it. If I could buy a second car that would be it. Infact my wife drives a modded jetta 1.8T, I sometimes think it would be cool to sell it and get a M3/4, but then I am buying an older car with more miles, which I have mixed feelings about (plus she loves her car).
