39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 My vote is to resurrect it you have the panels and parts there worth more as an M3 anyday, doesn't look to far gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 As you know doubt have parts for e36's is it not worth more repaired and on sold. That is if the current damage is not to great and most people on here have raved about owning a "M" at some stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 There was a silver e36 touring in Performance BMW magazine a month or two ago with a full M3 swap, right down to the instrument cluster etc, was awesome, I say do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 will be worth more to most people as a m3.A touring would be cool but i not sure you would ever get yr money back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btccm3 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 e30 wagon with m3 breaks and whatever other bits you could use. the factory quick rack works very well in an e30 too. plus those seats and if your real keen you could shorten the dash's width then rewrap it. just some ideas....

Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Seats and motor in your wifes wagon would be tits! Edit: Can i please purchase the arm rest, you don't need that Edited January 16, 2011 by Greg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btccm3 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) also i just looked up the curb weight of a e30 325 touring they are 1230kg so you cant ignore the mad power to weight the thing would have. Id say the s50 b30 would prob be a bit lighter then a old 325 motor so that number might even be a bit on the heavy side food for thought....
