My dream car: '97 BMW M3

cdubb77 · Jan 28, 2006

Earlier this week, I drove by a dealership that only sells high end cars. Bimmers, Benz, Lexus, Jag etc........

They had my dream car there. A 1997 4 door BMW M3. $15,995.00, 59,000 miles, Automatic. I went back there today and took pics of it. I started it too. Sounded great. Already had a Dinan exhaust on it.

The price is pretty good. 2 things are stopping me from getting it though. I'm still paying for my Accord

and I'm getting engaged in March so there goes my $.

Oh well, pics below.

oooo thats nice. it looks lowered to me. did you see what it had for suspension?

Definitely nice.
Too bad it's an automatic.

on a side note.
If you're not ready to dish out some money for service, don't get it. Oil changes alone are $50.
Then all the stuff you'll want to do. Trust me, German performance parts are expensive.

my local acura dealer has a red evo8, a silver sti, a silver rsx-s and a silver g35 coupe. i had a field day today there, haha, i wish i could get that evo. when it comes time for me to get a new ride, im deff gonna be lookin at FI cars, i wanna go fast. no domestics tho, so screw the srt4, haha. someone by me was selling a 97 m3 coupe, in blue, it was nice, but its not for sale anymore and they still have it, so they prolly wanted too much for it. i really wanted that evo8 i was looking at today tho, haha, it looked good, nice red paint, and black interior, haha, too bad its a mistubishi.

I think that's the factory suspension.

Yeah, I can't mess with the maintenance on a Bimmer and I'd have to insure it at my Aunt's house in Florida.

MMM i love e36 m3's!
Just had a trip to Bavarian Autosports on Saturday and picked up a rear strut brace and performance plug wires, installed them and both front tie-rods yesterday. Cost for labor was free! Oh and i gave it an oil change, too. I love knowing how to do my own work and having smart friends-especially with the bmw.
