Hey, I'm located in central Oakland County, and own an 97 E36 M3. Can you give me the info on where I can get all this work done in Michigan? Watching the video, you are quite local to me, the engine modifications are what I'm shooting for, but having a hard time finding someone in Waterford to do the custom work.
I like how you cut to external views of the car at the start when he booted it ;)
what a clean e36, perfect power range to enjoy
Ladies and gentleman: the Ultimate Driving Machine. And my oh my what a sound it makes!
Awesome thing you did with editing. Letting us hear the car and then show pictures of the car while this was playing. Genius.
I’m just going to copy that entire build sheet into my notes. What a fantastic car, and great iinspiration for anyone who owns an E36 M3.
That's one of the cleanest e36M3s ive ever seen and i've never seen a NA model slicktop. If I was the owner i'd never sell it. ever.
ever ever!
OMG my dad's bmw, I grew up in that car. Such nostalgia
Looks so clean after 20 years , great & powerful M3 E36 .
Never has my heart beat this fast for a video
I miss those NA BMW inline 6 motors. The last remaining motors were the N52/N53
maximus9401 exept that this one is supercharged. Which is better than a turbo in my opinion.
oh im in love. Just filmed a modded e36 m3 with over 350k miles but this thing is on another planet! Very cool
Tedward 350k miles and still running??!!
Yup! runs great... It's on my channel but not going to post a link cause thats kind of shitty to do on someone else's video lol. S52's are pretty impressive
I had to check it out, that is impressive! I've always thought there's nothing cooler than rocking an ultra high mileage sports car. Nice videos too, keep it up! -Chris
Thanks Chris! Been watching WRM religiously for some time. Love the POV
I'm glad you commented, your channel is sick, love the kanc highway shots. Cheers from central NH :D
I finally noticed the moldings are painted...eh. I like them black better.
Love the acceleration at 6:46 ; )
Plar Wharyyy yah
Damn you went all out. I miss this kind of driving from Winding Road. I wish I could actually see you hit high speeds though. Great video!
Quick! Cut to the photo! [car accelerates to 140mph]
This sound
God, I miss my old E36! 😭
6:48 Pure BMW performance right there...wow...
I also like the painted trim and door handles. Along with the orange lights delete this really make the E36 look more modern.
That is one hell of a ride.
How I would love to own and build a BMW but then I just think of the maintenance costs and I just shake my head.... props to the people that do it and can afford all that.
Kaymoney081 yup as an owner of the E46 m3 it comes down to either finding a really reasonable mechanic or doing it yourself. Not that everything is breaking, it's just getting simple wear items replaced can be a pain on your wallet.
KvnS S yeah that's what worries me man.
Kaymoney081 For what it's worth the E46 is super reliable from a mechanical perspective and they're amazing to drive. It's just that it's an old car with maintenance costs of an expensive car. Before I owned my BMW that always confused me. I heard that maintenance was expensive but then I also heard the car was really reliable so it didn't make any sense to me. It was only after I got the car and I needed to replace a few simple things like a faulty window regulator and Rear Trailing Arm bushings when I realized what everyone was talking about. On the plus side it's forced me to learn more about taking care of a car instead of just paying someone else to do everything or just fixing stuff after it goes bad.
If you can turn wrenches and don't mind being ready to fix things as they pop up bimmers are great cars. It gets expensive when you have someone else work on them. Their parts are really no more expensive than any other car and the online knowledge base is huge! They're built very well but they are quirky cars. If you take care of the details the car will take very good care of you.
If u know even basic mechanical upkeep owning one is actually the most pleasant experience I've ever had in my 20+yrs of driving. Honestly no different than any other car. Def the easiest car I've ever wormed on,just make sure u use OEM parts for major components
I love these more fast pace POV videos
love the parking lot section!! Do that with every review!
i can't stop smiling for its sounds.....
This is a hell of a fun car to drive.
Fav car.
I think his car is too low. Or it need a different suspension setup. It shouldn't be scraping like that. Regardless that M3 is clean!
Devlin F Sounds more like fender rub.
The tires look bigger than stock and it's lower, too.
Tomáš T. I'm not saying it hasn't been lowered but that sounds more like fender rub than scraping. It's actually got decent ground clearance.
Fender rub, need's some tiny fender roll.
wheels/tires/spacers and ground clearance are spot on! no shitty stanceworks here, thumbs up for the owner!
Ethanmeister Ya, that's a possibility.
Best color sounds awesome
Slicktop....nooice! Gotta do something about the fender rubbing though. A fender roll should suffice with those stock wheels and correct spacers.
The perfect car.
amazing video , i prefer videos with cars like this
Lampros Taxi indeed
That car is gonna go through tyres like greece goes through bail-out money. I'm pretty sure the tyres are rubbing.
So true!! these are already flat spotted, ruined :(
raise the coilovers up a bit man!! That rubbing makes me cringe! absolutely lovely M3 otherwise and a very good driver
No roll the fenders!
That too!
On a clean E36? No.
On some ratted out 240, sure. This car is simply too low.
opmike343 THANK YOU
that parking lot rip...dang
wonderful!
This makes me miss my E36, even if it was just a 318
that drift at 3:02
WR the car is amazing! btw nice video fam
awesome car!
Great car in good condition.
We want bmw e92 m3 👌🏼
Chris is the passenger, that's unusual, nice car :)
I'll be driving in the next video, but I wanted to see what this car could do in the hands of the owner. I'm glad I did, this M3 is incredible. -Chris
I love this car
sweet car. exterior wise... these cars look great in stock form. not sure about the blue trim, euro lighting and spoiler.
nice countersteering boss
Nice ride!
what a beauty...
What supercharger kit is this?
The owner states in his description that OEM rubber clutch and brake lines have less swell than braided steel lines??? First time I have heard that! Any scientific evidence from other viewers or owner to back that claim up?
What are the orange indicators indicating?
an indication of where you want to turn?
No but really though?
What indicator?
On the dash below the speedo and tach.
Oh, THAT'S what it is? Sorry, I never bothered to look. I'm a bimmer fan.
Love it!
A bmw driver who uses blinkers
Can you do a video of the 2016 Toyota Highlander gas
máquina full speed
Trust me, before I die, I will definitely take a midnight ride on this bimmer
Nice car 👌👏
Please respond....is this car for sale? Willing to pay VERY handsomely for it
My favourite car in the world, after the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. kkkk
original exhaust so much nicer sound. IMO.
Great car. Perfectly looking (except the steering wheel) but I think that's taste only. :)
How do you not show a shot of the engine bay?
Bad car, bad driver, bad color....Just kidding! It is one of the best sounding and cleanest cars I have ever had the opportunity to ride (and drive.)....:D
