What a fantastic car and of course another great video Shawn. A good friend of mine has an E36 M3 he's owned since new. First time I drove it we drove absolutely nowhere for at least an hour. Didn't want to get out of it. Can't remember the last time I drove a car that made me feel that way. Hard to explain how good these are unless you've driven one. Is there really anything else like it?
Wow first time I've seen your channel, it's awesome! "Because these are such special cars... extremely low mileage", and you still clutch kick the sucker all day long. Long live the E36!
I'm an original owner '98 M3. There has never been a car since I wanted. I had an E92 330i that could muscle it's way around and take the M3 sometimes but the new cars are ridiculous.. it feels like there's 10 computers between you and the road, they weigh a ton, and the throttle response with the turbo is non-existent. I don't think of the E36 M3 as a 90's car since I've been driving it and upkeeping it the whole time ;) Lame thing is it was ignored for a long time and now I get offers on it all the time.
No, it’s not Jay’s. Client car of my shop. My shop is a block away from his so I’m always cruising in the area. His shop is always a freak show to see. Just incredible what he has in there.
@@AutotopiaLA love watching e 36 m3's the 130i mainly with Alex hardt pounding out laps of nurburgring,plan to make a trip there next year,heartwrenching I'm sure learning track and watching your mirrors for track demons,Gona be great
@@AutotopiaLA I'm from swiss,and i had th 3.2 l with 321ps original,it's a big different between the Engine from the Us-spec and the original 3.0l or 3.2l..
One of the best looking cars of the 90s! Thank you for not driving it like a garage queen and letting that engine rip!
Its so 90s....I love it! Thanks for sharing this one Shawn
So 90’s dude! Love it
Most underated car ever!! Good video!
I completely agree and I’m glad you enjoyed this one. Love this car!!
Great work T !!!!
What a beauty
5:53 proof that Shawn is really a petrol head: a VW bug passes by and it doesn't get unnoticed.
nice catch!!!....I too noticed him checking out the bug!!!
Yes it caught his attention just like me @5:54 and it’s a oval window maybe a 1956, in Hawaii it’s called baby window 🤙
@AutotopiaLA always coming through with the 🔥 BMW content 🙏🏽 keep up the great content
Thank you!!

It really is an exceptional car. Fun. Quick. Responsive. Just a great car!

Welcome to the channel! These cars were built to be driven. They can take such a beating and keep coming back for more. Love em!!
Nice M3!
Cool car right?!
Great car and fun times keep it going
You know I will. And yeah, killer car.
Is this one of Paul Walker's M3?
yes
Best auto channel on TH-cam 🖐🖐 DOWN BUDDY 💪🏻
Thanks man!! We’ll keep trying to get better as we go.
perfect lines, perfect car.
Cool video! lovely 90's homage
Iconic, thanks for the education, keep up the excellent content!! 💯
I learned a lot in this one too. Great car!
E36 CSL Club Sport Lightweight. Very sweet. Shame we didn’t get the E36 GT or the Australian R models.
Love these LTW’s! Such a great balanced drivers car
imagine your insurance if you acidentally hit this e36. Insurance at first, ok an old 3 series, probably worth 3k. Later on...YOU HIT WHAT?
thyank you guys a history car ,, like that alot bone stock with german trickary from when 90,s
Such a perfect car. I wouldn’t change a thing on it.
Always love a bmw with fina decals
Así va quedar el mío 👌
Why does this look so much better than the 2024 BMW's?
Lekker car !!
Beautiful car. would be fun to swap an s54 in with a 5sp trans, in a less cleaner one of course.

Hi there, nice video of this beautiful car. I have a question, the size of the tire are original? That car in the video shows 245 40 17.
Rob Spaghetti dropped the ball on this one. He left a lot out.
Haaaà one e36 M3 hummm y love it the cars in french
These are such great cars!
Great car (expect for the side skirt)
Royal
Plate says "AE Performance"....
...is it THAT "AE PERFORMANCE"?
(Paul Walker/Roger Rodas company?)
Yes. Old plate and frame. Miss those guys.
Wow...still so very sad.
They had one helluva car collection. I saw that video with Matt Farah going through all the cars in the warehouse.
Perfect car and they wont make it anymore this days
I have a 94 mtechnic 325is can’t find the numbers made. But I’m sure it’s less than 300 left. I’m doing a rebuild so should be perfect when it’s done.
Shawn, is that one of Jay's cars? I see you cruising near his shop? Been there a few times but I don't recall seeing that car.
No, it’s not Jay’s. Client car of my shop. My shop is a block away from his so I’m always cruising in the area. His shop is always a freak show to see. Just incredible what he has in there.
Are the burn outs really necessary ?
Are they ever necessary?
Why do you have access to all of Paul walkers cars???
I’ve been the one caring for his cars since the accident
The sound of the brakes in the start was quite irritating if I have to be honest
Sorry that you missed the car because of some brake noise. Performance brakes aren’t always quiet unfortunately
Am i the only one that noticed the driver's side brake duct had fallen into the wheel well?
Love the wheels,also the sound is pure pornography,have a BMW 130i and that 6 cylinder is so smooth
These are such great cars. Everything about them is right on
@@AutotopiaLA love watching e 36 m3's the 130i mainly with Alex hardt pounding out laps of nurburgring,plan to make a trip there next year,heartwrenching I'm sure learning track and watching your mirrors for track demons,Gona be great
Its not a e36 ltw but I have the 76th produced us spec Regensburg Germany built e36 m3. Seems like a low number to me.
100,000? Yen maybe.
No no turbo ho forger yes stok just one supercharger bmw is possible
Raced a few bmw in a mustang. At 140 they walk away.
$100000 for that shit and it doesn't even have the s52 with itbs
This car sold for $350K at Barrett Jackson in January so I was way off on the price
Amazing cars. "Not a real m3" comments by kids inbound tho.
Not a real M3? I’m confused.
@@AutotopiaLA be thankful you dont read the comment section on yt in videos on us spec cars.
I have a picture from this car,but it is an US-spec?with only 240ps,that isnt really a real M3 Engine!!😫
Check your specs. This is a US spec car and it is definitely an E36 M3 LTW.
@@AutotopiaLA I'm from swiss,and i had th 3.2 l with 321ps original,it's a big different between the Engine from the Us-spec and the original 3.0l or 3.2l..
@@HooRideHooBang get lost
To much for this JUNK machine over price!!!
Beautiful car. would be fun to swap an s54 in with a 5sp trans, in a less cleaner one of course.
This is a 5 speed trans and the S54 would be cool. But considering this is a LTW I wouldn’t touch it. In a beater would be cool
