e36 m3 - where would you put it on the cool wall?

[evojam]

Well I've had my Evo saloon since 2006 and think it deserves a place on the cool wall,spent a fair bit refreshing it,chucked in some black leather Recaros and had many happy road trips plus a few laps of the Ring..Car has been dry stored for 2 years now so in 10 years time when it's worth something I'll dig the old girl out again!

Which Recaros did you fit? Have you any photos of them fitted?

Recaro Speeds with the proper Recaro E36 low subframes from Germany,night and day compared to the stock seats for support and still comfortable on a long run.Looking at the pics makes me want to dig it out and drive it..lol

I have so much want for these and its been my favourite generation M3 for a long time now and they are effortlessly cool.

I was silly enough to hesitate and missed out on a mint 2 door in Dakar yellow, late last year. It was a steal too. They've definitely come of age now and values are climbing.

I know of a mint Evo if anyone is searching?

Values are steadily rising as good sub 100,000 miles examples are gradually drying up..this Youtube vid always makes me want too dig mine out again and head back to those German Autobahns.The E36 M3 is a great high speed cruiser!

Those awful Vadar interiors are the one thing that spoils them for me. I'd have to bin them were I to buy an e36.

Brings back some great memories; I ran an EVO saloon from 2004 to 2006 and a modified EVO coupe from 2006 until 2012. Still miss the noise and throttle response.

Thanks, those look great and will be a big improvement over standard. I'm hoping to get some Type C's if I can find them for mine. Lovely example btw.
