hey I don't blame you man. not only is maintaining it a constant thing, but you were playing catch up from where the previous owner left it. i imagine once you would be at the maintain it part its not that bad, but you know got to fix everything the previous owner didn't do.
Hey, I bought my E36 M3 last May and have been following since your first vid since I'm from Boston. Mine is a California car so no rust but needed a ton of deferred maintenance so I've spent around 8k this past year...These things are expensive! I've thought about selling mine a lot but every car I'd want would be kind of the same deal (trading one 90s shitbox for another). Figure I'll keep the thing and eventually maybe I'll break even in 2035 hahah. Enjoy the GR though, very cool replacement.
Love to see it, thanks for the comment and follow I really appreciate it. I’m sure it will work out financially and by that I mean you will be happy and that’s what is important haha
As a college student also owning two e36s, I hear ya man. They are rewarding but nerve-wracking especially when class is top priority, reliable transportation is needed, and finances are tight. Best of luck with the new cars!
Ugh, sorry to hear. Unfortunately these cars are no longer daily. Such a great car tho but should be a weekend warrior/track or retro bimmer show only.
Sad to see this video... but it is the right decision for you, maybe in the future you'll come back with another e36 or maybe e46 :) I bought an e46 6 months ago and I had almost no issue with it, never viewed the service for other things than oil change:))
oh completely forgot to mention that. Bought for 11.5k on cars and bids, sold for 11k, spent around 2200$ on repairs and various needs in the 4 months :/ it probably needs another 2.5k to be in clean shape tbh
@@Ian-yt thanks for that Ian, I have a really similar E36 M3 myself and haven’t seen a lot of comps recently. they aren’t being sold as often as they used to be.
@@OptimisedTutorials Yeah I had a lot of people interested in the car but not interested in owning one. More people going for e46s is what I heard. My car sat for sale for 5 weeks before any real buyers interested.

yeah think I just got unlucky here from the sight unseen cars and bids purchase :/ still was a great car just not near "collector" shape
keep it up fellow ian!
Thank you Ian 🫡
I approve of this interaction of Ians
hey there ian@@IanMuirhead
what the actual frick! my first reaction was like "oh no, so saa... frick yeah man! a GR Corolla!"
Haha same! Thanks for the comment!
GR Corolla --- worthy ride.
Got a low mileage, clean, garage queen E36 ///M3 coupe … that’s what one needs to find. Absolutely trouble free.
one day! gotta get that dream garage moving at some point haha

GR Corolla's are actually pretty sweet, congrats!
Thank you I’m loving it so far

Couldn't agree more! thanks my guy
Plan on getting a newer corolla after I sell my e90. I'll probably miss it but won't miss the repair bills from the last 7 years lmao
owning an e90 for 7 years screams that you loved it, what was your favorite thing about it
True true. I like the size, handling, steering feel, engine power / torque curve, sound, and both interior and exterior looks for the age.
I didn’t know how good people had it in newer cars until now it’s crazy how nice the most basic features are
honestly i am not even surprised, 30 years old car as a daily is literally asking to hate your life. good choice on the new car tho it's sick
Facts haha thank you
Can’t wait for the Corolla content gonna miss the bimmer
me too man... but this corolla is absolutely wild :)
NICE VID
love the channel
appreciate it!

AAAAHHHH you got me here with your E36, but I am here to stay. Love the color. I have 20k into my E36, it is not for everyone.
Haha welcome thank you and yeah it was too much of a beast for me at the moment but I’ll find another
Just make sure you don't lose that GR Corolla, man... what an amazing car it is. Take care of it!
That’s the plan, keeping it modest and safe hoping it’s a 10+ year car for me
