e36 m3 will it wont it become my new track car???

last year i bought a rusty 328i for cheaps just to get me started doin practice days

done the basics

- lowered it
-modified wishbones and hubs
- changed diff ratio 2.9-1 ish to 3,6-1 ish
- gutted it etc
-straight through exhaust


car served me well but thought it was time to upgrade to somthing a bit more solid:) and faster

so after hasseling every one with an m3 drift car on this site to sell it i finally settled on this today

has to be the cleanest m3 / e36 ive ever seen

original irish car

but now im wondering if its to clean to track and would it be a shame to destroy such a clean example

if this is becoming a drift car i will be looking for

coilovers
medium case open diff
4.1 188mm cwp
2.1 steering quickener
17" wheels
fan cowling

and for sale will be
the 18"s it currently sits on
vadar interior
m3 lsd
3 spoke non airbag steering wheel

Nice job looks very clean . Is the 2.1 quickner a good modification.

Pics taken in Mallow?

Anyway,
If it's really really good I personally wouldn't drift it.
Look at all the 180s/Skylines etc... drifted/broken in the last few years and how hard it is to find a straight one now.

The E36 are going the same way, A lot being welded up and diffed or turned into drifters/track cars and eventually stripped for parts.

They'll be rare in a few years and a nice M3 will be very hard to find especially an original Irish car.

Im from mayo myself, the car was bought in glanmire and the picture of the car on the trailer was taken in mallow i think

I hear what your sayin about m3s becoming rare, i might just make a space for it in the corner of the shed

if it's clean, keep her. they're going up in price for a good one.

Clean lookin M3, too good for track?

Well wear Conor. She does look clean. Park it up and borrow the engine for the 328. You could rebuild it and put it back in if they went up in price.
