I agree--a rust-free, crack-free chassis is what you want. Everything else can be fixed or replaced for a reasonable price, but not the body. Having done cooling system & vanos rebuilds, I can say its pretty straight forward. Some must-do mods for long term ownership are all body related: rear subframe mounting reinforcement plates (M3 have them stock), front subframe reinforcement plates, front & rear strut reinforcement plates, front & rear sway-bar mount reinforcement plates, e-fan conversion or clutch fan replacement. there are a lot of other less severe problem areas that won't keep you from driving but should also be done.

@Ian-yt 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the input! I got even more to learn haha

@isaiahjackson4438 7 месяцев назад

From what I've read on forums, the M3s actually never came with the reinforcements even though the plates are an OEM part, however my M3 has reinforcements so I have no idea how true that is

@solomonoh 7 месяцев назад

@@isaiahjackson4438 don't believe everything you read online. my 95 m3 has factory rear subframe reinforcement plates welded in.

😁Found a low mileage, rust free, no issues E36 ///M3... in my garage. Incredibly reliable (more so than the E46 stable mate), although a bit underpowered (but quick enough). Your pros-and-cons are right on. Changed out the OEM water pump and reinforced the strut mounts many decades ago.

@fatoputso7375 6 месяцев назад

Very good looking car for sure. E36 m just does everything good checking the boxes on what a proper sports car should be starting w being easily to maintain to it's looks.

@willsparklin 7 месяцев назад

As an E36 ///M (now S54) owner, the killer for me is the e36 trim and interior bits. In an effort to make the thing more recyclable, some parts are so brittle at this point... they literally disintegrate in your hands. Still wouldn't trade it for the world though. The chassis just does so much right. Even in stock form it punches way above its weight.

I was supposed to get an E36 tomorrow with an M52 engine. But after watching this video, I've been worried about dealing with mechanical problems because I don't have any experience. I'm a programmer, not a mechanic. I've already made a deal with the guy I found on the marketplace; the picture he sent looks clean. I'll find out tomorrow, but since I was a kid, I've been dreaming about this car, hahaha.

Just make sure to be careful on cars n bids, I had a rough experience with undisclosed problems with the owner. Ask every question possible before hand

@isaiahjackson4438 7 месяцев назад

Recently bought a 95 M3/2/5 for $7500, definitely not garage kept but no rust, and clean body. One thing I really wish I had done before finalizing the deal was to pull back the trunk carpet and looked at the shock towers. One had been smothered in some of the worst welds i've seen. I'm getting all sorts of not good sounding rear end thumps so dropping the rearend, replacing all bushings, and reinforcements are next up on the to do list. I just repaired cracks in the front strut towers and added the OEM reinforcements.
