  • Used BMW?

    I know the reputation for old Jags and some other lux cars, but what about a 3 series late 90's convertible? Well cared for, garaged, but high miles (over 160k). Would you? What are the problems typical with these? $4500 sound high?

        I wouldn't use one for a DD, but those cars seem to fair a fuckton better than the 7 series from that era.

            I'm not down with that whole negative camber thing on the rear wheels, but I fucking LOVE me some BMW. Z4 coupe, here I come

              I think his point is that the fish got low balled, fucked in the catfish asshole and you paid half price. The worst part was the fish explaining to his fish friends why his asshole smelled like redneck

                They seem stout. I'd like to have an m3 from that generation.

                  This one is stanced and poked with a little stretch. Plans will include an lsx swap.

                      The first thing I think of when I see a BMW or Benz all modded out like that is that car has been beat into the ground. I see it all the time. Owners of those spend all kinds of money on stupid wheels and crap and don't spend a dime on maintenance. Find another one. But if you just plan on swapping a LSX then who cares about all the typical problems.

                        I know what to look for/check in an e36 before I buy.

                          I remember seeing a thread a long time ago on ls1tech. It was a white E36 with an LS1... freaking sweet!

                          If I had the balls to do a swap in something an E36 would definitely be a contender, with the addition of AC and heat of course!

                            They have swap kits (from dallas performance and vorschlag) that retain all accessories.
