Nice, but not sure the E36 M3 is ever really going to be a highly desireable collectible--and if it is, this guy has diminished the value a bit by installing Dinan S/W.

do these people eat the same cereal as the people who buy R32s? they must meet up together in chat rooms and try to see how much money they can make off of dumbasses.

the problem with the e36m3 is that it WAS last sold in 1999.

since then, we have 268hp camrys and 250hp accords.

Um . . . it's yellow.

I think Lemming makes a good point. As fond as we are of past cars it seems like newer ones are generally more powerful, more reliable, and tend to be more fuel efficient.

It's hard to think of an older car that I'd REALLY want to own over a newer one. There are older cars that I like and admire but to actually OWN one? Hm. . . .

Well for one, its almost new with those miles, and also its half the price of a new one.
