He makes sense!
How about E36 for about £6k/£7k and then get a good E30 M3 for about £8/£9k and track that!
As said before the E36 and E46 arent good round tracks and to be honest the E36 wasnt even going to be called an M3 it was going to be called a 330.
Oh dearly me, you havent got a clue How about E36 for about £6k/£7k and then get a good E30 M3 for about £8/£9k and track that!

An E46 gives you the option of leaving TC on and chucking it around like a playstation game. An E36 only has an LSD to rely on.
Did a trackday a couple of weeks back, and the E46s there all had upgrades - AP racing brakes, coilovers etc. There was a CS(L?) that was blowing everything away, but rumour has it it was supercharged.
My mate's E46 is standard and coped pretty well, but I think I had more fun in my E36 328i - if I'd still had my E36 M3 that would've been a hoot. Hence the reason I'm now looking for another E36, rather than an E46 M3. And yes, I will be upgrading the suspension, brakes, Dave F kit...

e36 is a great all rounder. I'd go for a nice example with a bulletproof history and then mod it a little for track.
Yes the 46 is more powerful but not by much but it is also heavier so in the real world performance difference is negligable. e36 is improved loads by a DaveF induction kit (dynoed at 12-15bhp for an EVO) available from www.e36coupe.com
I'll have to agree with this ^^Yes the 46 is more powerful but not by much but it is also heavier so in the real world performance difference is negligable. e36 is improved loads by a DaveF induction kit (dynoed at 12-15bhp for an EVO) available from www.e36coupe.com
