Personally I would choose the 3.0 M3 if you can find a decent one!


The problem with E36 is that most are old and abused, but I would definitely want the 3.0 Litre with Bosch ECU and Medium LSD over the gay Siemens (sorry if I can't say 'gay') ECU which does my thingybob in.


BMW E36 were very good cars, all 6-cylinders. Then they got cheap and fitted stupid ECUs which sometimes forget to give me the power I'm requesting. E36 323/328 very good example of this. I have no idea why, other than the ECU being stupid.

I think you'll find its the manifold that strangles the power on the 323/328i

I'm a chav too....

Techno violet and sunflowers is just about my perfect M3, throw in black vaders and we are there.

Shame they never did Hell Rot(red) on the M3. Its such a nice colour on the 328i... I miss my sport it was such a great car.

Indeed, don't think the Evo came in this shade though

Very nice ^^

Correct on the subject of Hellrot: It was available on the M3 3.0, not the Evo. However, the Evo was available in Bright Red and Imola Red.

I'll consider myself taught! Have to say I truly desire a hellrot M3... that is a thing of beauty and my heart aches for it!

Best BMW colour ever....almost.
