Nice E36 M3

agreed, but is the 3.0L really more reliable than the 3.2?

Need the leather vader seats imo. Some much more classy.

I still like the cloth vaders. Any vaders would be nice tbh. Tiz a very nice car imo.

Looks like a nice car. Wasn't this one competing in the Intermarque Sprints a while back? But now in Christchurch. Some quick times from memory.

Has The Surgery Intermarque series sticker on the window still!

Just a rumor created because of the noob owner vs 6 speed gear box issure, double vanos seals drying up (same as owning a e46, e39, x5, z series blah blah) and oil sprocket nut coming off which is a very easy fix of lock tighting it.

Thus giving it a tag of being unrealible..

Not so much a reliability issue Dylan, more the fact that the 3L's seem to be pretty healthy when they're dyno'd, compared to the 3.2L's which seem a little anaemic. You're more likely to find a 3L dropping 300hp than a 3.2 dropping 321hp

with the 3.2L its advisable to replace big end bearings.

there are pretty much no parts for the 6 spd gearboxes .

Interesting. So really the question is, buy a 3.2L for 22K and up or pay 17K for a tidy 3L. I think you'll probably see less depreciation out of the 3.2, but theres no point in buying a car thats going to need heaps of stuff replaced.

ORRRR buy an E30 M3. Did anyone look at that 1984 AC Schnitzer M6 from Tauranga?
