E36 M3 saloons are usually cheaper than the coupes but you dont see as many about.

The M5 Touring is cool as feck and i cant wait to see an E92 M3 touring 8)

I saw my first E36 4dr M3 the other day. I think they are a nicer car than the coupe personally. :o:

I like them, but the rear lights somehow don't quite 'work'

Couldn't tell you why, but to me they look slightly out of place. Did they do both engines in the saloon or was it just the 3.0l?

The E36 M3 saloon is a nice sleeper. Horrific interior wood trim though!
