Bimmerforums.com - The Ultimate BMW Forum , a friend of mine who has been looking into the E36 M3 for the last few weeks said it's the best board he's found. It's not as good as a lot of other boards I'm on, but I don't expect your average 325i driver to be as technically knowledgeable as somebody on a DSM or MR2 forum. The M3 in particular is a car I'd want to know all the pros and cons of before buying it- the cars really do have a lot of problem areas and you should know about them before getting into it. Nothing deal-breaking, but surprising stuff from company with the reputation of BMW.
