But I probably need to scratch the E39 M5 itch before I revisit E36 M3's.

looks good but 6 years service gaps on a low mileage car needs checking out.

Yep needs looking at but for a car that has only covered 200 miles in the last year and around 7k since 2008 I wouldnt expect to see an annual service. If I bought it i'd go for a full service straight away, ALL fluids, filters plug etc and i'd imagine that should see it right.

Miss driving mine... not really used since 2010! Trackday 3.0 with PSS9s, AP's, and a few other tasty bits.

These are becoming good looking again.

Yours is really nice Op. Real bargain performance beemers.

Beautiful car OP. Why do I read threads like this? Now I really want a mint E36 M3!

I'll agree with everyone else, that is way too clean to mess around with!

It's not really messing, just enhancing. It's a performance car, it should be used as such. Not just parked up and polished.

[JamieRoberts]

I've always loved the M3's, would love to own one! but can't get reasonable insurance quotes on them!

Lovely car mate

Daniels San my sentiments exactly. The car will still be loved and driven as it was intended but with sympathy and aided with a few sensible enhancements.

Just don't let Chris drift it

[jbaddeley]

Lol we'll use his for that and mine for track.

[SuperVM]

I have an Evo IV at the moment and while it is great, I think it will be making way for my third E36 M3 soon.

Sorry for the thread hijack but that looks great Windy - it's just crying out for ambers though!

Looks very clean, I'd live to get mine looking like this one day. I've got the dreaded rusty arches!

I keep telling him he needs stick a drivers bucket in his car now, just something that offers a bit more support, make it easier concentrate on the drift part rather than staying in place.

Think we are at oulton on feb 9th. Can't wait!

Cant wait to see it, i will definitely pop over.

[DanielSan]

Might well pop up for an hour. You drifting or tracking?

[jbaddeley]

Drifting with Chris in his all being well. Going to share mine on track with Chris when upgrades are done hopefully ring trip too if you fancy it.

Finances permitting I'm definitely up for it. Trying to get my HGV and then a new job sorted at the moment so that's taking up the modifying money for the DC5/new car fund

[jbaddeley]

Good move. Might not be until next spring anyway as we'll do a track day rather than tourist day. They are dearer but worth it. ivegot quite a bit to shell out on m3 so no rush
