Fully agree. I've got an E36 Z3 and even though it's a non-M it is undeniably the most "fun" car I've ever driven. I drove a McLaren 720S that was obviously ridiculously fast and impressive, and I daily-drove an E90 for a year which was awesome to cruise and road-trip in, and a ton of different stuff in between including a Miata, C5 Corvette, FK8 Civic Type R, etc, but the Z3 has this unfiltered joy in a way I haven't experienced the same way in any of those. The E36 chassis is utterly brilliant as a tool for generating happiness.
Whats apparent more so than the car is the owner. That was sheer admiration and passion for the car, that's what makes this community so special. Well bought, well maintained and most certainly well owned good sir, bid you many smiles per mile. BMW Ms are a breed apart, cherish them.
Yes! It's not always about the car. It's about the passion from the owner and the love/care he brings to his car. Macky's is very much known locally as Mr. E36.
@@kent570253 Last time I had it in, the service manager showed me the video from the service bays when they drove my e36 through, every tech stopped what they were doing and watched it drive by, it was quite funny.
Have owned my E36 M3/4/5 for 10 yrs and have done all maintenance myself. The S52 engine is bulletproof, the shifting so smooth and such good balance. I have driven an E46 w the S54 and I like the E36 much better! Best upgrades: Stage 2 clutch w SMF and Stromung exhaust. Drives and sounds amazing!!
@@SharkBlueMedia Try it you will not be disappointed. Engine revs so freely with the Gripforce Stage 2 Kit w SMF. The sound of the Stromung is perfect. Not too loud and slightly louder than stock.
What difference do you feel with the single mass flywheel? I'll be doing the clutch on mine soon enough and have contemplated it but always been afraid to lose the smoothness of the dual mass setup.
@@johnpearson492 I’ve had both the DMF and SMF in my E36. The SMF stage adds about 30% increased clutch pedal effort, which can be brutal if its a daily driver. Especially in stop and go traffic. The OEM Luk DMF and Sachs Clutch is ultra light and great for daily use. SMF will be noisy in the trans. DMF is ultra quiet.
At first glance, I thought it was just another regular E36 with clean aftermarket wheels. Then, I saw the engine. This thing's a sleeper! And is probably rarer than the M3 coupe.
I gave my 99 E36 328i convertible a New Flex Disk/ CSB and Exhaust Hangers of course Header Gaskets,,, then a Fun to replace Starter ( Have heater 3 way Plastic Connector and the FOUR hoses for the Heater,,, and really never try to loosen the starter bolts without a Proper ENVERTED Torx Box end Wrench,,, and Next the Door panels will get a very tasteful Refresh,,, I never smash the "Redline",, but my car "Gets up and Goes" when I put the "Spurs" To er,,, such a Fun Car to Drive
Always much love for any e36 forever, and any e36 M3 looks hecka dope. By dumb luck I ended up with a 318is e30. I have no reservations saying that i will never need to buy another car as well. Thanks for the video. It was inspiring as a forever owner myself. Cheers
I got one hellrot red cab 98 with 60k… I love it like you do great car😍 I would luv to send you some pics cause you love them like me 👍 Your passion makes me happy my friend…
Beautiful. looks like the euro spec we didnt get here in the usa, we got the neutered version, with that being said if we did receive the euro spec the rest of the world got im sure it would be a highly sought after like the e46. imho
Did you get the Euro spec car in Philipines when they were new? I noticed the bits on the light lens to cover the wrong side of the road. Is it a 3.0 or 3.2?
Any mint E36 is a keeper, but an E36 M3 is an irreplaceable gem. Beautiful car. Kudos to the owner for keeping it in great shape!
Indeed! Macky is very lucky to get his hands on a mint one and he's been keeping good care of it ever since.

@@tyler9703 Considering the cars you have driven, that is a HUGE compliment to the trusty E36!
The e36 is one of those certified keepers. Just perfect. Just timeless

He's such a humble guy
I have the same car. Bought from original owner 18 years ago. I love it!
My E36 was my favourite car ever. I've had E46, E90, F22 and worked at a BMW dealership for almost 4 years as a tech. The e36 is something.
The E36 is a true classic!
I take my e36 M3 to the local BMW dealer every year for its state inspection, the excitement of the techs is just wonderful when they see it.
@@johnpearson492 Yeah mate, most techs where I worked were big fans of E30 and E36. They are suck great cars.
@@kent570253 Last time I had it in, the service manager showed me the video from the service bays when they drove my e36 through, every tech stopped what they were doing and watched it drive by, it was quite funny.
E36 now is a part of my soul.
We can relate!
E36 M3's are absolute gems of a car. I've had mine for many years, and it's reaching 300,000 miles! And I'll drive her for 300,000 more.
300,000 miles is quite a number! Really just goes to show how well these cars are made.
@@SharkBlueMedia Mine was in a rough shape when i bought it, but through patience and will, it is back to their hellrot-colored glory
@@bumblebee__ Provided you give it the right attention, anything is possible!
i turned 18 a few months ago, and bought a cosmo 318is full m sport i love it

Loved this video. When I was growing up the E36 M3 was a dream car for me and it’s the car that really introduced an attainable ///M to the masses.
Thanks for sharing!
Love my e36 325i, a beauty to look at and drive. I actually love driving because of this car.
We can relate!
Beautiful E36 - Love the passion involved
My dream car, someday E36.. maybe not an M3, but 323 or 325 would be great.
Look into the 328i also!
The way how BMW made a car is so interesting. I love BMW
They don't make them like they used to!
the owner has great taste!
Takes one to know one!
They should feature your E30, Stef🔥

Yes, its the ultimate sleeper car.
Beautiful video. Auctioning my 40K-mile M3/4/5 (same color as this one) on Pcarmarket today and I'm afraid I'm going to miss her too much.
Best of luck!
The best car
An absolute jewel of a car👍
The owner keeps it in fantastic shape!

Great Vid, sweet ride & wheels, I have same sedan and love it also 😆
Thanks for the kind words and kudos to you for the awesome choice on the E36!
May favorite bimmer.. there even a Mitsubishi Galant that resembles that car’ and its nice too👍
We will be featuring a Mitsubishi Galant soon. Stay tuned for that exciting episode!

We're glad you enjoyed the video!
Great story! Love the passion and honestly feel almost the same with mine
We love how Macky just loves his E36. If he could marry it, I am sure he would!
awesome car Macky! 🎉
It really is!
I miss my e36 so much. Best steering rack in the world.
It was still a time where you could still feel every bump on the road on the steering!
Great video for a great car
It sure is!
Looks amazing man
Awesome channel, guys! Keep it up!

Hello, raww raww Ryan!
I also believe in e36 supremacy 💯
I have 2 of them
The e36 supremacy is strong among us!
Nice car, but i feel the rear is a bit too high, too much rake imo. But E36 rules :D
Fair enough!
Beautiful. looks like the euro spec we didnt get here in the usa, we got the neutered version, with that being said if we did receive the euro spec the rest of the world got im sure it would be a highly sought after like the e46. imho
This unit is actually a USA Spec E36 M3 coupe, so its the neutered version.
❤
Wow
What country is this?
We are located in the Philippines.
😮
M3/4/5/6
M3
4 Seat
5 Speed
6 Cylinders
The best USDM M3 outside of the LTW.
Yes!!! Totally agree
@@SharkBlueMedia BTW, if you folks want a BMW M Roadster to review, I also have one.
@@hanslubas Let's talk some more! We are always open to new cars to feature. Is your FB name also Hans Lubas?
@@SharkBlueMedia it is under Jethro Lubas.
Did you get the Euro spec car in Philipines when they were new? I noticed the bits on the light lens to cover the wrong side of the road. Is it a 3.0 or 3.2?
У меня. Есть м3 e36.белая❤
My e36 is a 316i... a slow one but man it's a fun car to drive TBH
I wanted this one too, or a bmw 2002 turbo.
