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.

Look very clean, what you gonna do with the 328? seen it in tynagh fit little car.

i dont know tbh i havent used one but i have been cought for lock to lock speed on a few occasions, also a couple of lads i was talkin to swear by them
so i think ill give one a bang

mabey dave m sport or chuck g or someone else would be better equipped to give you a review on 1

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.

Pesonally if it was me, i woul of used it but if its as mint as you say, do just park it up in a shed and keep it looking mint for a few years, because as the lads have said, there becoming rare for a mint original one

Are you going for dyno? Everyone is telling me that is impossible to find s50b30 which holds power after all this years of abuse :)
Good luck with it, and don't track her if she's really clean.

Your car looks very clean. Let me know if you decide to track it, I'll be interested in seats.

If you strip what would ya be looking for the interior ? well even just say the fron seats. or even just the drivers seat :cool:

Track the fucking thing :) Better to start out in a clean example than a rusty wreck :)

The quickener is the biz....i love it, my friends hate it.......:)

Sell all the interior and other bits, you will make money back in no time...its crazy what bmw people will pay for stuff.

Looks mint btw, ive an awful horn for red lately.

+1 I think I would cry if I saw that out on a track

(awaits abuse.....)

Thats my buddys car! Well was his car!!! Really good car, he payed big money for it few years ago and it got everything it needed. Car was very rearly driven aswell and got no abuse!! You got a gem of a bm dude best of luck with it weather you decide to track it or daily it.

well it all depends, lads in finland tend to by them for either parts or track so buying cheap rusty ones could sell to them for the same as a mint one here. but heres what i found out, well taxed and registered around 10k€
but taxes are like 3-4k€ plus import duties
so to be sensible the bmw isn´t allowed to cost more than 4k€ in ireland to make any profit on it. and there words from a lad in finland himself.
are they even selling or worth 4k over here?

sell it to a lad that loves his bm"s that way it doesnt get wreacked, then go buy a not so clean one track it and with the extra money you have left over you can get drifty bits for it!!

that makes sense i think..

ya hes an absolute gent to deal with, no fuck actin with him

according two the last 3 nct sheets he was only doin about 2k a year in it

Sounds about right!! He has a company van and just got a notion to buy the beemer but never really used it in the end. Really good car strong engine aswell pulls well.

I bought an m3 that is an absolute peach,full sevice history from the day it left the dealers..most geinuine cleanest car ive owned..thought about what it will be worth in the future many times an tryed to find a rough one for drifting before i bought it.so there'd be no guilt or regrets..but on the good side you'll have a good solid well maintained car to start with

Drift it na nd loads of power wat more would ya want

definitely drift it, i love them, so simple to turn into a drift car, so little maintenance and a reshell is cheap as chips, pick up a 316 shell and a lil modification and there u go

Pm'd you there

SO IT BECAME A DRIFT CAR!!

decided fuck it ill drift the bitch

got a cage done by liam crowley on here, gifted fabricator, quick turn around and cheap as chips, anyways im as happy as with it, and would recommend him to anyone

bought 17 x 8.5 et13 contours for it

fk coilovers

4.1 cwp

kitted it out with some seats and harnesses that i had from my last car

extra lock sorted with modded hubs, lock washers and e46 lower arms

still a few jobs to go
wire the electric fan
anchor the harnesses
fit the 4.1 cwp
track it etc
and give it its first day out in tynagh on the 16th

anyways here is how it sits now
