E36 M3

So, my replacement for the Z06 is a 1998 BMW M3 convertible. It's in pretty good shape and reminds me of my RX8 in a lot of ways. I've never owned a bimmer or a convertible, so the fun is about to begin.

Congrats!

E36 M3 is on my bucket list - pics or ban

He's got a E36 M3!

love that blue

Does anybody know if those wheels came on any other BMWs or just the M3?? For OEM those are really sharp.

Those are M contours, exclusive to the M3, but as normal.......they're on pretty much every 3 series out there at this point

Thanks. I am going to keep my eyes open for a used set.

Its been awhile since I paid attention to the ti boards, but those guys never wanted anywhere close to as much as bf.c did.....

Is that Estoril over Magma? Pretty combo!

not sure that is Magma.. but it is still very pretty

Nice choice on the estoril blue! May I ask why you went with a convertible?

Estoril...

The convertibles seem to be cheaper than similar condition coupes and sedans. I've also never owned a convertible, so I figured "why not?"

Expected this thread to be about something else.

Estoril is pretty.. but I never understood the OMG! factor it seems to have on BF.C

Hhhhhhmmmmmmm makes miss my e36 more and more.......

Very nice choice, plans?

Nice find. That's the color combo I had on an M Coupe. Damn, I miss that car sometimes. Enjoy.

I'll do the normal E36 stuff maintenance-wise, then I'll just enjoy it. I'm wondering how long before German electrical gremlins attack the windows and top?

Great color combo!

I read the title and thought E36 M3 something bad happened. Then I was like holy E36 M3, it's an actual E36 M3. Now I'm like that E36 M3 is cool, I really like the color.

Just remember to take the door panels off (carefully) and scrape out all the old, dead, and now sticky grease from the slider and replace with fresh slippery grease. That should keep the window mechanism working perfectly for years to come

The car has 95k miles on it, btw.
