nah, i personally think they are asking way to much for it. I'm eyeing an m235i xdrive as my next car. I agree with you, would love an x5m or x6m. with some kw3s they look great. I see an estoril blue x6m in saratoga all the time.

Yes. We know that automobile and other mags proclaimed the e36 the best handling car in the world at one time, but sorry. It's not the best handling m3. It's more capable, faster , but no where near as fun to drive. The e30 m3 has neutral handling. The e36 understeers. Same with the e46 vs the e36. More understeer, and quicker overall but not as fun to drive. |

Yes the E36 does push a little, especially with stock suspension. Most guys that know how to set E36 up for the track remove the rear sway bar which helps a lot. If it starts pushing a little just add throttle, rear squats down, and boom you're through the turn. Thinking you're swinging out too far to make the exit, don't let up just give it even more gas and your exiting even faster. Still not enough power in E36 to get you in trouble though which is nice. My experience E30 vs E36 is mostly from the track so really not relevant, I guess, since most suspensions highly modified. All I know is that they are both really, really quick. There's an E30 in our club with a giant wing that, for the life of me, I cannot catch. I'm probably 500lbs heavier though and have stock body. |

Great description of the e36! The e30 m3 is definitely under powered in comparison so you are pretty much always on the throttle! When you enter a corner too fast in the e30, you just lift slightly to get the rear to rotate and then put your foot back to the floor. It's sublime! |

I can't understand, for the life of me, why all the E9x owners think the E9x looks the best!!
I think the E46 looks the best. Also don't understand all the praise of the E36, since the version we got in the US was way underpowered and many didn't even consider it to be a real ///M. Of course the US version of the E30 M3 had far less power than the Euro version also. The E46 was the first time we didn't get an emasculated version of the world car. But as others have said, they were all great in their own way, and I, too, would like to own a good example of each.

I love being able to beat the hell out of this thing and not having to worry about rod bearings and blah blah blah. But that's another story Quote:
Some people think the F8x is butt ugly (I'm not one of them). Doesn't mean they are right or wrong. This is about the subjective we can talk about when it comes to cars. I pretty much break my neck when I see a clean M3 period (only if it's a rare color for the E36 M3).

Of course I understand that - I was being facetious.

Also something not mentioned yet comparing these models is longevity. The S52 just lasts FOREVER! I don't think you'll see the same kind of longevity out of the high revving S54 and S65. It will be interesting to see how the slightly lower revving S55 longevity holds up in the long run. |
