I have my 99 m3 up for sale right now just so I can buy a BRZ.

(75k miles, new suspension, etc, etc....I'll post a FS soon on this forum.)

It's a great handling car. I unfortunately got it with the dove grey interior, which I cannot stand. There really isn't anything that makes me hate the car. It handles well, looks great, fits all my stuff/kid/etc. I just can't fall in love with it. It's missing a certain something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Hopefully someone else can fall in love with it.

(relevant car history: 04 sti, 94 miata)

Almost bought it. We still talk about it to this day. The engine note is unreal.

Why the hell didn't you buy it??

Queens is rolling full of nice cars, amazing what you can find in someones garage...

I'd say wait it out for the twins. I've had 2 325s and my mother had leased m3s from 95-07. She graduated to the 650 in 07. The beemers are fun when you lease. I owned mine and they were bigger money pits than my house! My brz gave me heart ache when in was in repair the first month but I don't regret it at all. As much as I love the sound of my moms 8 cylinder beemer, the smiles we share when I let her drive my brz are way better!

So this was when Tranzformer dropped off and went into ghost mode?

Your a year late, this thread needed a shovel to be dug up.

I don't think you'd regret buying an E36M3, they are great cars for both the track and the street and WAY more practical than a BRZ. They were on my shopping list but I ended up with an E46 instead.

I don't get the hate for E46, it's a fantastic car, handled like it was on rails and screamed like a banshee all the way to 8k rpm. The S54 is probably the best straight 6 BMW ever made (toss up with the S38). The steering feel on that car was even better than my FR-S. Took mine to the auto-x several times and it was a very fun car.

I still get sad when I remember the new owner driving her away, I'll own another one someday. Maintenance was a bitch though. Inspection 2 is not your friend.

I really like M3's but I agree with this. Towards BMWs across the board really. E30's I find love for, the others are great cars but they are missing a soul.
