Interesting toy for 16,750

For so little scratch and low miles this is an interesting proposition.

Still HATE dove interior though.

Ugh.. convertible.

Why am I irrationally scared off from a car as soon as I see A-pillar gauges?

I just saw one of those purple e36 m3 but a coupe a few days ago. Very unique color but not sure if I would be brave enough.

I LOVE purple (enough to put up with Dove) and convertibles. But frankly all those mods would scare me off.

I remember test driving a 1999 e36 before I bought the e46 convertible. It was not, um, tight.

I had one for 5 years. Still one of the best handling cars I have ever had. Miss that car.

E36 M3s are great cars. Dated, but still really great. But yeah, the convertibles are wet noodles.
