E36 Advice

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 12:48 pm

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?

Dont go to the beach?

No way im giving up spending nights down the beach with half naked girls mate, everyones horny as fcuk down there, me and my mate waslked past and a bunch of 15 year old girls said ooo big boys!, was awesome despite looking around for coppers.

I didnt do anything with them by the way, will wait till there 16 so its legal, anyway, back to the topic at hand lol.

Damn it dont make this choice harder than it already is lol.

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.

Gotta do this......as you are no longer one of us and are going to the darkside...... :ban:

Seriously, would you not consider just buying a thrasher small hatch or van (might suit your runs to the beach perfectly

)

Wtf? lol, mate i love you like a prostitue on sale but come on...its a vauxhall!

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:40 pm

cheap to run chap to fix acually it never goes wrong
gets cained to death and keeps going
and loads of room in the back hence the tardis name

anyways your better off with a cheap e30 fella
more fun than the e36

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:53 pm

I dont wanna go from a tech 1 sport to a normal e30 though mate.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:28 pm

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.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:29 pm

They're horrible to work on, however.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 8:54 pm

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.

On that by the way i could fund e36 money just by breaking the sport, but thats the last thing i wanna do.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:00 pm

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.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:17 pm

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

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:23 pm

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

I reckon your right about maintenance aswell.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:38 pm

Not to mention MPG ;) and running costs
