E36 Black M3 Evo, vadars and m-tech extras Coupe

[apmirkin]

I'm looking for a low mileage ///M3 Black e36 evo and cant find a nice one.

I cant help finding m3's which have been thrashed, damaged or crappy low spec models...

I have seen loads of 98 m3's with vadars and the thick m-tech steering wheel in good nick...

Only thing is, they are smg gearboxes...

I want a nice one with everything original, 2 owners, black and manual...

Do these cars no longer exist???

Would I be better off finding a 318is full m-tec sport model or a 328i sport coupe and getting hold of a m3 engine and modifying it???

If so, wouldI be better of gettin an e46 m3 engine???

ALso, would I requre m3 suspension as the engine would be heavier and the suspension..etc would need to support it...

Yeah, but I aint seen many m3's with vadar's it was an option and I seen early models without leather vadars!

Vadars were standard in ALL M3 coupes, convertables had the standard BMW sports seats and no option from the factory for Vadars, although they do fit.
The standard trim was cloth, leather was an option for all coupes.
If it looks like an M3 coupe but has 'normal' seats the usual rule is it's someone trying to pass off a 318iS with a bit of bodykit as an M3, and hasn't copied the interior.

When we bought our Evo it took a while to find the right car and we ended up going 450 miles to buy it. But that was a while ago and they must be more difficult to find now, especially with low miles.



Ours was completely standard with a few extras, Nappa Leather, Burr Walnut Trim, 6 Disc Changer, Rear Spoiler, Graduated Tinted Screen and one or two others. It was a really fantastic car and we kept it for 2 and 1/2 years (a long time for us) and I was sorry to see it go.

Good hunting

A while back I was looking for an E36 M3 Evo - late car in Atlantis Blue or Velvet Blue with Black interior and Cream leather... couldn't find one. Correction. Couldn't find a manual. I've given up.

My friend has got a black M3 with cinnamon vader interior, not sure on the full spec but think its got just over 100k. maybe R reg too. I can pass on a contact number if you require?

You will have trouble getting insured on a dohc vtec as your first car.
Look for a 1.3 or 1.4.

For a vt your looking at atleast £2000,

you may of had trouble, but i've never had trouble with getting insured. My first car was a granada scorpio 2.9i and i got insured on that at 17.. I've had a bmw before, only a 320 but i still got insured.. You obviously don't know what your talking about..
