Does anyone know anything bout '95-'99 M3's? I was thinkin bout getting one and one of my friends told me they are a piece of shit. Just wondering thanks.

 

Your friends an idiot. I just bought an E36 325is, and its the best driving car I've ever driven. There's a reason why they are still so expensive.

 

BMW makes a POS? They make ugly cars but that doesn't mean they're a POS.

 

on problem is cost of repairs.

 

They are slow for the money and ridiculous expensive to fix. You don't ever want to own a BMW that's out of warranty, unless you like being broke.

 

Anyone who thinks a BMW is piece of shit, especially an M3 deserves a quick, but painful blow to the testicles.

 

bmw straight sixes are extremely reliable.

slow for the money... you can pick up a 95 m3 for ~ 12k. The performance category that the m3 will be the worst at is straight line performance and they are still capable of running a high 13 while trapping over 100MPH. There is a strong aftermarket for the cars (although it is not cheap to mod a BMW).

Best thing to do is go test drive one on a windy road. IMO they are one of the most well-rounded cars that you can buy. I am also one of the biggest advocates of BMW's that you will find so I am slightly biased.

 

I keep thinking about a 5 series...maybe a used M5(1999+)....Yummy.

my dad has had a 97 m3 99 325 and a 01 740il... he has not had any problems with any of them. we had the m3 for about a year. it was great. handled great too. it has 240 hp. with isnt bad cause the price on them went down alot.

 

You can have all that Kraut iron. They break too often and are ridiculou$ to repair.
