Right, im going to be selling my sport soon so i can get an e36 325i coupe, basicaly im too young to keep the sport in the condition it needs to be kept in, i just want a normal car thats like every other one so i can take it down the beach and leave till the early hours without worrying about some chav trying to break into it, scratching the paint etc,

Few questions, how much could i pick up a reliable e36 325i coupe for and i was told its worth going for the early one which doesnt have the vanos, this true?

personally craig, you are most likely to have to deal with the same issues on an E36 mate that you encounter on an E30 in terms of replacing worn out stuff and keeping the tin worm at bay, parts are going to be similar price I would reckon.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Unless it's a 328i or Alpina touring.

dom

your not going to be abill to fund the e36 with the money from your sport. its bent isnt it.

a satisfactory 325i coupe can be bought for around 1.5k up.

most of these early cars have been molested. you get plenty on ebay. nasty scrap.

e36"s coupes still look nice.

Its not bent just a dent at the back, it wont be for sale untill its all fixed and on the road anyway, had an offer to do a swap for an e36 coupe but sadly the e36 turned out to be in poor condition.

It will be going on ebay with a reserve soon.

If you have to sell your sport i think your right to go for an e36. IMO standard e36's look better than low model standard e30's

My little e36 shitter hasnt missed a beat yet and its pretty nice to drive. I cant think of a better cheap car you can buy.

Sport definetley looks better than a standard e36 i think think an e36 would be less hassle than keeping a low milage e30 mint.

No doubt, i didnt mean sports/318is etc, i ment a standard e36 318 IMO looks better than the e30 version.

Im sure loads of people will disagree but..... i dont care :D

I reckon your right about maintenance aswell.
