I'd honestly look at a 4-cyl Z3. The M44 engine is quite reliable (as long as you keep the cooling system in check), and relatively easy for learning to work on and doing your own maintenance. It's not really fast enough to get you into too much trouble, but enough power to be perfectly usable. 2. Pleaseluggage.
Join. Auto transmission E36 M3. Let's talk heresy for a moment. I posted the other day about an E36 M3 sedan I had found for sale. It's a dream car of mine. I haven't had an independent inspection yet, but the condition / price / mileage / color / carfax is right. Except that it's an automatic transmission. I have looked but have not been able
I would say that it's not a good first car. They require fairly heavy maintenance and if you don't do it yourself, it will be too expensive. Then when you have breakdowns, the expensive parts will set you back more than a comparable boring car. Love the E36 interior. 296. 27 comments. pengouin85 Dakar Yellow 95 M3 • 2 yr. ago. Plain, and efficient. I like it too. The previous owner had an alcantara E46 M3 wheel in here, and I definitely prefer this thinner, leather wrapped wheel instead. It’s identical to the sport package wheel that came in my E46 sedan except without the buttons.yeh i think theyre good stuff, youd best check the insurance online first just incase its too high, look for soemthing with full service history, avoid too high milage ones id say around 80k would last you a long time since ive seen em get up to around 200k lol, make sure you do the check thingy to find when the last owner bought it, lots of people buy these on their way out and try and unload
A skid plate kit positioned underneath the front of the car took only minutes to install. Burroughs liked how users can move the plate forward and back to accommodate the car on the road or on a track. "It totally transforms the way the E36 looks and this is exactly what this car has been needing for years," noted Burroughs.
Manufacturer: Mazda. Price Range: $. Specs: 2.0-liter engine with 155 horsepower. Pros: The Mazda 3 is one of the cheapest cars in the Mazda range, making it a very affordable choice for young drivers. All Mazda interiors are fairly similar, so if you are used to driving a Mazda you won’t get any nasty surprises.

6 E36 BMW 325i. via M Composit. Much like the E30 generation before it, the E36 helped to solidify BMW's reputation as a producer of great sports cars. Even an E36-generation M3 can be found for pretty cheap, but for a real ground-up project, it's hard to beat a dirt-cheap 325is.
3 Honda CR-V — Compact SUV. Via Honda. In today's automotive landscape, the most highly contested segment might be in the compact SUVs. They provide the comfort of a sedan, while at the same time having the ground clearance to go through the rough stuff. via Motor Trend. The engine is not the original, with Edwin explaining it is a 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine from a BMW 323i. Engine swaps with the E36 like a V12 are not uncommon according to Edwin. It is at this point that Edwin reveals he is the 11th owner of the car. The lack of exhaust on the BMW is another issue that Edwin will have to deal with. I figure the car should last me about 5 years. In 5 years if the engine goes, I should still have a good shell, and I'll do an engine swap. Depends how it all turns out. 09-05-2007, 03:59 PM #7.
