E36 M3

[scott180gtb]

How overpriced is this turd!

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

It looks in good condition bodywork wise but the rear silencer has seen betters days.

Low mileage and original except the wheels and lights.

£4500 seems about right to me.

What do the zone Mafia think?

[bss325i]

Sod that early turd,

This is a better bet.

[bss325i]

Wheels are original on that red turd by the way.

[scott180gtb]

Will this suffer from the dreaded Nikasil problems?

Being an R reg it more than likely would have started out with a nikasil block but its easy enough to check if its been replaced and tbh, nikasil isn't that big a problem now.

Going to have a look at this on Monday.

SMG will need to be removed.

[pacerpete]

E36 SMG is TRAGIC . To convert it will cost Ca £1500 so do not bother

[scott180gtb]

MMMMMM

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=949815

Is that for someone to carry out the swap Pete.

I can wield the spanner. It looks like you can use the original box.

[pacerpete]

I'd like to see how they get around the detent spring issue. I have seen some interesting 'fixes'

Just buy a manual one , unless the SMG turd is MUCH cheaper , why bother ?

A converted car will always be a b4stard and worth less than an original manual car.

[Jon_Bmw]

Asking prices prices seem to be on the rise. Time to store one?

[bss325i]

Not many good ones left jon.

RE SMG to manual, we have a convertible evo in for work thats had the conversion and its poo. Still got various brackets, spare loom plugs, a pissed gear lever and the instrument cluster is still SMG. (doesnt have an engine oil temp gauge like the manual cars)

[Jon_Bmw]

Last time I looked on PH there was only circa 17-20 for sale. As a comparison there is normally 10 z3m coupes for sale.

Getting a good one would require 8k and be a risk for sure.

[bss325i]

Barely any Z3M coupes made compared to E36 M3's to be fair.

[Jon_Bmw]

I know, that was the point I was getting at. The e36 has got to that point where there are very few about.

[bss325i]

Ah i see now.

How is the Z3M going anyway?

De counciled yet?

[scott180gtb]

I hear what you guys are saying about the SMG

This is over on the cutters site.

Its a 3 owner car. The chap who owns it is the third owner. Its the right colour combo for me.

http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=85547

Its top end money. I have arranged to go and have a look Monday.

What do we think a sensible bid should be at.

Are the values of these going to creep up over time?

I'm looking for some summer fun that won't have my pants down when I get bored.

[bss325i]

Looks ok but £6k. Add another 2 and you would have a vastly better E46 M3 with less miles.

Steves car is rarer, has less miles, has had more (expensive) work done and is £2k cheaper. No brainer imo.

[Jon_Bmw]

Bits for decouncilling have been acquired, but I can't let go of the AP front brakes and new pilot sports on the Hartges!!

[bss325i]

AP's and Hartges are cool. What size are they again?

[Jon_Bmw]

18's. 255 at the rear and 235 front I think.

If I could space the rear out more i would be happy. But as you know the Hartges already have integral spacers built in. The wheel bolts are already long.

[spook]

Can we have some pics up Jon of your Z3M,

way too many doors ! even a pig ugly E36 touring is nicer looking than a four door turd

IMO if your going to have an M3 it has to be a coupe'

[e30topless]

I know, that was the point I was getting at. The e36 has got to that point where there are very few about.

they certainly are on the rise,
I have a completely standard 1995 anus blue 3.0 stored in a container, I paid £1200 for it a few years back, one day I might be rich?

These are great, that's quite cheap for one.

We have a LHD press car that was shipped to us as a shell and box of bits and it now almost a complete car.

Sort of agree, if it's going to be your fun car and it comes in coupe form you really want a coupe.

I have a fun car and needed a fast rep mobile - this ticks those boxes

An the saloon is a good looking car despoiler on contours
