E36 M3: As FAST as my Z06 and MORE FUN?? 

When this channel blows up people are gonna be lucky at the amount of great content they'll be able to go back and binge that Josh puts out.

E36 in general a great platform. Of course, I’ve had a 95 M3. And a 93 325is was my first track car. Now tracking a 97 M3 and its capability exceeds my skills. I may be a bit biased toward the chassis. 🤔

It's fun to see someone who isn't already familiar with the platform enjoying it so much. I wonder sometimes if I need to get out more, or if my "perfect" car really is as perfect as I think it is. But I drove 450 miles on Friday to a track day, did six 30-minute sessions on Saturday, then drove 450 miles home on Sunday without a hiccup. Hit 270k miles on the way up Friday. And then Monday morning my daughter "borrowed" the car and drove to work. I've never seen anything like the factory spring-loaded adjustable front GT splitter and the risers on the rear GT wing (what most people call LTW parts) on any other car. These cars can be such easy daily drivers or such great track cars - and everyone who owns one gets to decide how they want to build theirs.

I recently came across this channel and I'm impressed by the quality of content. Good work.

I have daily driven an E36 ('97 328is and now a ''97 M3/4/5) since 2009 and I still can't get over them. The sound, the look, the combination of comfort and performance - they are just an absolute sweetheart. I"m getting older now and am eyeing something a bit more cushy for daily use (and family hauling) but I venture to say that I will always have one of these in the stable. They are simply 90's perfection

Great video. Wish I never sold my ‘94 E36 M3 3.0 - euro spec from Japan. Did Stoptech ST40s, BC Coilovers. Miss that car!

Awesome video! As an e36 m3 owner myself its awesome to see the true potential of the chassis. Ahead of its time!

Great video. I have a 97 M3 coupe beater with suspension and z3 rack. Also have a low miles mint 97 C5 . Selling the C5 because the M3 is soooo much fun to drive and the feed back is phenomenal. Wife thinks I'm mental...probably true.

Dude you're doing a good job on these vids. I look forward to them. 👊

E36 M3 best car ever :) Nice lap at the end! Was funny how y’all were thinking the same thing at the same time in the same model cars lol

E36 M3 is the best kept secret. 11 year owner here. My sedan carries 5 passengers, full spare, drives amazing and bullet proof engine. Simple upgrades include: suspension, tires, stromung exhaust and singke stage flywheel. Just perfect all around.

Love those wheels I got the 18”255 all around R7 more fun that the new m3 feel all the power band in the heart 😃

First time finding the channel--this was great! Real high quality content, agree with those that said this thing is going to blow up 🧨 💥 Also... Dammit.... I want an e36 m3.....

The shifting is probably the worst thing on these cars. Regardless of flavour.(5 spd, 6 spd, 4 banger, 6 cylinder ...) Great cars overall though. A lot of fun and quick.

That was so much fun. Well done.

I have the same spec (but black) with coilovers/sway bar/200tw tires and it’s an absolute dream to drive. Favorite car I’ve driven so far. Selling it soon as my buddy has a ls6/t56 swapped e36 coupe on coilovers. Cant wait to drive it on track.

Excellent stuff!

Dude I got the apex set on the same deal!!!! I got mine in anthracite, I just wish I got kinda deeper dished ones (don’t know the actual term concave?) but they are amazing now I just gotta get the floating bmw center caps now get rid of the ugly apex ones.

@2:28 LOL “A local company”. Love MCS…running them on two of my m5s. I’d run MCS on my SE30 if I could. And my wife has no idea how much I’ve spent on my track cars 🤫 Love your e36m3! E36 is such a fun platform!

10:28 Love this segment. Driver Mod > Aftermarket Mods

e36 m3 owner here for over 20 years. dammit now everyone knows how well rounded and capable this car is!

I gotta get me some of those carbon fiber stickers. So sick.

Just a perfectly done video.

It makes almost 100hp more in europe

I love my E36 M3. Most affordable fun car Ive ever driven. Cant wait to rebuild the engine and prep it for another couple hundred horsies.

Ive owned my 95 M3 for almost 10 years, i couldnt see myself ever selling it. These are amazing machines and are so much fun to drive. Also, the one piece headlights are hated by most e36 enthusiasts haha

bmw shifters, all old bmw's have shot bushings! just by putting in new oem is night and day feel. THEN add a shortshifter, the best shfting feel ever.

The E36 can give you strained smile muscles... 😁

Royal

No my wife is going to watch it lol😂

but the c6 has much higher potential :)

❤

Great video! Did you and your Champcar team not run the AMP race this year?

Can someone explain how to get that kind of a deal on tires????

Please take off the one piece headlights and burn them

Doesn't seem that loud in there for being gutted on track windows down @ speed. I recently picked up a E39 M5 as their prices are all over the place but sometimes can be had for cheap but high mileage and maintained accordingly to get the high mileage. E36 prices fucking PUMPED hard the past 5 years made it unjustifiable for me.

Tasteful mods😂..sure

Wait... how'd he get that set of tires for that price? Can someone explain?

you say 9k but he lists 6k just in mods 15 still not bad but honesty is the best policy

The U.S. market got robbed …. Those S50 and S52 engines sent here were nothing more than a modded M50 and M52 … the Euro M3 engines are mean!

not the real m3

WHY 1.) WOULD U TAKE A PERFECTLY GOOD E36 M3 TO TRACK IT WHEN A NON M WHEN TRACKED EASILY COMPARES AFTER SOME SIMPLE MODS & 2.) (MOST IMPORTANTLY)PUT THOSE HIDEOUS AFTERMARKET,GARBAGE HEADLIGHTS IN. THE ONLY ADVANTAGE TO THE GARBAGE US SPEC PLASTIC LENSES IS THEY CAN BE TRACKED CUZ THEY ARE PLASTIC....EVEN IF THEY WERE FOGGED QUIT BEING LAZY AND FIX THEM!!!!
