Don't get me wrong-- I LOVE my m3... but there's a few things I definitely regret. Quinn from M3NACE met up with me for an awesome collab and he had a few things to say about it as well! Remember to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! Thanks for watching!

My first car is my e36 m3 that I've owned for 7 years and got when I was 15. I have no regrets with it I love everything about it and refuse to get rid of it. I plan on passing it on to my children when the time comes.
KGL Nero how much have you spent on maintaining it assuming you do the work yourself
I thought i had regrets when when i encountered the 36 vs 46 dilemma. The 36 purchase allowed for alleviated financials to pursuit a downpayment on my home and a ring on my girl's finger. Fast frwd 6 yrs and i absolutely have 0 regrets. Such a great secondary car and the 46 hype was short lived. I think a clean e36 is aging better than expected.
stubbk3 I absolutely agree. Every time I drive an e36 that's the one thing that really stands out to me over my 46.
Thanks for spending the day with me! It was awesome to check out your beautiful E36 and spend some time in it's habitat. Let me know when you decide to come my way:)
M3NACE cone down to Maryland next!
21 years old car and still looks great today. Back in my college days a friend of mine ordered the E36 M3 convertible full option in metallic grey, wow. His dad was a surgeon and loaded. Since then I always wanted a Bmer.
I got an E92 330i 5 yrs ago with 100k km (62k miles), Inline 6 NA port injection 272hp. Running great. Haven't had issues so far, touch wood.
E36’s are like sower patch kids. There sweet at one time and sour at the other but in the end I love my e36 no matter how much people hate them and how much of a head ache it is.
I'm stationed overseas and have an E36 M3 waiting for me back in the states. I love these vids, makes me appreciate and also miss my M even more.
Bought a E36 316i coupe today from ‘98 as my first car. Sadly the gas prices in the Netherlands are pretty high so I couldn't opt for a 320.. still a super cool car! You actually inspired me to buy an E36!
That's awesome! Hey they're fun no matter the engine. Cool too hear the channel helped you choose an e36 👍
Treats On The Streets Thanks, it's a really clean one in Farngrün. It only has 125000km (around 77000 miles) on it as well :)
Your channel helped push me to get an e36 as well the only thing i regret is it being a convertable. But its a super clean and i love every moment driving the thing
I'm in Belgium (french speaking side tho), and I hope to find one of these, not for gas price reasons, but because we can't have much more than 82kw as a young driver. (You can have a bit more, depending on the insurance company, but it'll be a bit more expensive if you have more.)
Vandaag euro98 getankt voor €1.68.... 👍🏼 heb een 320 e36
My one regret with my ‘97 328i is that it’s an automatic. Cleanest e36 I could find with a decent service history
your channel helped me get an e36, despite me wanting one for years... m3nace, on the other hand, convinced me to buy an automatic to manual swap it. the auto I bought was very well maintained, since duh, it was an auto. never seen redline, never abused, grandpa driven. Manual swapped it with a 3.15 LSD and I need to finish some stuff up, and sort out my gear-grinding issue but other than that she's doin well. it really just needs dedication, which is exactly why BMWs get a bad name. it's not even that expensive, it's not even that difficult to do, it's just tedious to do everything. and takes a lot of knowledge, such as what brands are good for aftermarket parts (febi, victor-reinz, mahle, vaico, are a few good ones) and which parts shouldn't be bought aftermarket. it's definitely a trial and error experience, but all it takes is dedication lol
mileage aside, I had the same dilemma. mine has 186k on it but the interior is pristine, and i felt horrible ripping the interior apart to finish this manual swap. i wanted to keep it the way it was, but i decided to bite the bullet because of my previous statement. i can make it just as clean with some time and dedication. I'm gonna put together my interior after i finish writing this haha
My E36 is currently at the mechanics, because not that long ago I got it out of the bodyshop due to a crash it was in with the previous owner (yes I bought it crashed from the rear) it's fixed up now but the next step is the engine! Can't wait to have it back, I've driven it to an extent but just to move around because the rear stabilizers are Bent but those are getting replaced at the mechanics, can't wait to officially take out my car for it's first true ride.
He had me when he said his biggest mistake was buying a droptop with many issues... exactly what I did a few months back. Roof isn't working (only manually), leaked coolant, leaks a bit of oil, but other than that there is no rust and nothing else to worry about. Hope it doesn't end up breaking down, for now, I'm having fun. :)
I have bmw e36 328i coupe with m50 intake manifold and remap. It has around 230 whp.
I dont know if those were the right words coz im from finland and not that good at speaking english :)
I recently bought a 98 M sedan just like Quinn's. I love that thing
alex zee sweet, what colour is it? Manual or auto?
BG M3 sedan myself :)
I’m just glad I can do almost all of the work needed myself (besides from major stuff like new engine, major drivetrain replacement, etc.) plan on buying one for my first car.
I was looking at one, has 220 thousand miles. It’s pretty clean and they want 4500 bucks for it. This video helped me make a decision lol
I wanna see your car in person haha we should cruise up that canyon
I agree, my biggest regret was buying a lemon e36 m3. I was too rash and couldn’t get over that I could be an m3 owner. It had so many issues: oil leaks, coolant leaks, slipping clutch, a broken diff, and the car was throwing at least like 7 codes. I wish I could have restored it but it wasn’t worth it cause it was a salvage title car and would have taken another 3k to fix everything. So I sold it and I am looking for a new project. (Might to back to the Miata gang)
Great video! Kinda clickbait but I'll click anyway, as mentioned who's interested in e36's and watches just one of your videos, he's gonna stay. :)
Now where you said you don't really wanna drive it that much... and you have to "baby" 'it... well we know you DO baby it, but you do take advantage of it wearing that M sign.
Also in regards to you being insecure driving it more... Man. You have only one life. And only one, special M3. That's one thing that's gonna give you many smiles when you grow old.
I see how take care of it. Do drive it. Do keep it clean and perfect as it is. Enjoy it. You deserve it. Don't think of keeping it virgin (in mileage way) because that beast is built to last. Mine has 329,000 and it still purrs.
Other than that, do make this thing regular intro! This is so creative and awesomely done! Really hits the spot for me.
Also friendly suggestion, always ask your subscribers things, engage the public, you were making good steps with "guess what mods will be next". Try having even more questions, I'd say at least 3 per video. Like for this particular one, how do you like the landscape; what do you regret if you own an e36; what wheels do you have; do you think it's cool if I do more of these videos with other e36 lovers; what engine do you have; how much gas does it eat; and much more, that's just for example.
On my end, I have literally no regrets. The e36 is my all times favourite. Currently I'm on the operation "enslave the horses" where I'm having m50b25 stroked to 3.0 with VEMS chip and polyetherene (or what's the word) bushings, e46 330ci ZF 6-speed manual tranny etc not to go into details.
We all have to appreciate life and what it has to offer. We have many problems - politicians are driving us crazy, there's poverty, there's hard work...
But when we look into our garage, that's what makes us smile. And that's one of the reasons I'm living for - to have my e36 look back at me and remember all them proud moments.
Cheers!
Such an underrated car; love the intro, lol. BTW, I got my Contours refinished to factory new (inner and outer sides) for $125 per corner. #worthit
Hard to beat a great set of contours 👌
I have a 94 e36 M3 German spec, rarely drive it. No regrets.. it still scares the crap outta me when I hit the gas. #S50B30 - Fun sized, well engineered machine (if maintained properly)
I don’t own an e36 M3 but I have owned 5 different e36’s and they are fantastic cars that stand out on the road! I do plan to buy a E36 M3 euro spec as I live in the U.K. and the values are going up! Time to buy is now!
SuperStormtroop I have e36 328i coupe with m50 intake manifold and remap. Has around 230-240 whp. I live in Finland and e36'es are shit over here so i had to fly to germany and import one to finland. The car was stock back then with 140,000 km on the clock.
Sorry for my bad english tho :)
BMW you’re English is perfect! Yes we have harsh winters & it can ruin the chassis if not maintained, and here in the U.K. we salt the roads during winter instead of having winter tyres which is stupid idea and ruins our cars faster! I have two e36 323i coupes one is half finished completely overhauled in my garage needs paint job & has m50 manifold, m3 fuel pump too much to list, other is daily driven lowered partially stripped, has genuine m3 staggered polished wheels!
SuperStormtroop Thanks man!
SuperStormtroop E36'es are best at winter when theres alot of snow and you can drift the car. They are extremely fun to drive on winter and summer. They have good hp and they can beat 99,9% of the cars on the roads of Finland. And i LOVE the 90's bodystyle. And btw in Finland we use winter tires but we still salt the roads and that gets me very mad.
0 0 M3 e36's price is going up already.
boy im 15 and hyped to get a car in a few years, problably going for a bmw e36
2 great channels teaming up, nice work!
Thanks man! Hopefully we'll have the chance to do it again
Looks like you guys had fun tfti lmbo. I always wonder what my car sounds like from the outside myself. Your car sounds really good though classic induction sound. You really need to bite the bullet and do the m50 manifold man you wont regret it.
We definitely had some fun haha. Yeah I totally do. It's already in the works 👌.
"Just buy one....you won't regret it" 😭 I don't regret it, but damn, being behind the wheel of an enticing car that edges yourself to enjoy the excitement of it; along with my actions landed me a DUI. I hope you never get one. Drive sober or high dude; not drunk. I learned the hard way.
E36 is life son, if you ain't bout it move along.
I think your exhaust sounds nice
Haha thanks man!
oooooooof them donuts... that steering wheel spin
stock black on black no spoiler different wheels window tint Pilot's (of course) strut tower and under chassis cross brace 5 speed of course - Sharkwork's OBDII tune - done......it's the silver color and those wheels that ..........
I am getting a BMW E36 M3 Coupe for my drift car
It will make a sweet drift car 👍👍
You forsure got to come to cali. Bayarea
Im have 323i 97, its mini M3 hahaha
New subscriber from Brazil! Sorry my bad english
Welcome to the channel!
Is $2600 a super low price for a '97 e36 m3? It has around 180k original miles (at least the owner says that, he replaced gauge cluster). Only issues it has are the interior is in bad condition, front window regulator is off track, and power steering hose reservoir is leaking but that shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Am I getting a good deal here? Thanks on advance.
Pretty cheap price for a running driving m3 if it has a sound chassis with no torn mounts or bad rust.
Cant beat a $200 e36. Im at six now with three running and three as parts. Hah
3DGEM3 When i was younger i had an e36 320i coupe. Now i have e36 328i coupe with m50 intake manifold and remap. ( Has around 230 hp) weights only 1000+)
did you ever finish the 6sp swap?
Hi (sorry for my Bad English)
What exhaust do you have on your BMW E36 M3
How much Cost m3 in USA ? In Germany Cost m3 e36 20k Euro.
Values are going up in the US as well. Mine is a '99 with 77k miles and is worth about 20k USD.
Did u consider of buyin' another e36? Not an M3 maybe 325i, 328i to drive it hard and killin them tires if you feel bad for driving this m3. Just my opinion :D
Yeah that's what I've been considering. Maybe buying a 328i to daily and mess with. Who knows, might see one on the channel in the future 👍.
Treats On The Streets i mean if u want to save the milage on this car u should get another e36 :). Just to say that i was and still am a e34 lover but damn it is hard not to consider buyin' an e36 because of your beautiful car :D. Cheers from Croatia and have a nice day! :D
How much did you get it for?
One thing - didn't buy it sooner lol :D :D
😂👍
Sub to both of ya and bimmer dude in comments. I daily a rebuilt title 97 M3 sedan and I'm back and forth about regrets on it just keeping it from being recycled at this point LOL! M3!!!!
Haha awesome man!
My bad...
Wait a minute he spelled it with an "I" and I was referring to "him" your majesty!
just a tuned 328i, nothing M about American E36 m3 model..Euro models had propper M 3.0 amd later 3.2 engimes..it ia shame to call it m3
:)
Kinda getting too clickbaity my friend.
How is that click bait? The topic of the video was our biggest regrets with buying our e36's. The title completely reflects the topic in my opinion, but maybe you see it differently.
