Man, you are finicky. If it weren't for our previous discusions, I might mistake you for a 18 year old female primadonna.

Although turbo E36 M3's have been done well, they are hardly considered reliable. It is difficult to get something to run right 100% of the time when the output has more than doubled. Yes, they can run well. But do not expect it to always start or run right and it will happen when people are with you.

If the B5 S4 is out, I would seriously consider a CTS-V. Granted, I am not a huge fan of the design. But an LS6 engine with a blower can make 500 WHP and do it for years. You could pick one up for low $20k range, if not less. And add $6k in the blower and call it a day. Yes, it will drop in price but I suspect in five years you could still move it for $15k if the miles have not stacked up too high. This is also something you could seriously drive hard and is something does break, parts are more readily available and cost effective.

There will always be compromises when you have your goals set. You must decide which needs are greater.

This makes no sense. What regular car DOESN'T depreciate in value? I can only think of a few off the top of my head and they all cost 200,000 or more when new.

You're one of those guys that buy nice things just so u can say you "have" it and actually never use it...

From what the OP has contributed to this thread so far, this is exactly the case I see it.

I'm pretty set on an e36 M now, I'll turbo it if I decide to and the motors are cheap if it blows. Plus it will be a nice project to get it sparkling.

Cuz your like him, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it clearly. The 335 depreciates anywhere from 5-10k a year, regardless of if you drive it. So if your like me and you don't drive it, your spending that money PLUS high insurance rates to leave a car parked. That is retarded, plain and simple. (and the exact opposite of what you two intelligent minded people have surmised)

If I were to pick up a low mile or medium mile e36 on the other hand and leave it sit, it would hold its value very well, I would easily be able to sell it in three years for the same thing I bought it for, most likely more as I'll fix it up and get it in better condition. Add to that a huge drop in insurance and the reasoning should be pretty simple.

Get a bicycle because ur attitude certainly does not represent a person who is able to handle a moving vehicle on public roads. And, if your precious self gets defensive, SUCK IT THE F*ck up, it is the internet. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you don't like it then go f*ck yourself

Opinion? I don't see me responding to peoples opinions, I see myself responding to idiots who can't be bothered to actually read the thread. If you can't be bothered to read a thread before responding you don't deserve to be treated politely in my opinion.

I love people who use asterisks like it makes their swearing OK, like everyone and their mother can't tell what you were trying to type? Go fuck yourself.

Oh shit, italics on the your. Hardcore.. But anyway, go with the E36, you get to keep the BMW pedigree in your stable, it's fairly easy to mod for power to satiate your desires, and you can fill it with as many parts/equipment in the backseat and trunk as you want. Fin.

[in5ane_3]

I'd go with a CTS-V. It's an awesome car to mod, a hell of a lot of power can be pushed out of those engines.

+1 nobody seems to be reading the thread.

If I were you, I'd just get a 335.

He already owns a 335i. He is debating on selling it and getting soemthing else.

[darkphantom]

Hmm...after reading this thread, the OP has answered his own question...and he already knew it prior to us responding, but by us responding to this thread, and him not appreciating our answers, he has, in fact, even more so rectified his decision to go with the E36 M3....

My question to you, OP, is why did you buy your 335i when you are trying to get rid of it already? : also, what is wrong w/ stripping the 335i and turning it into a track car?

500HP doesn't mean shit if the car weighs a ton....what is the purpose you're looking for? so you can brag your ride has 500hp? or are you looking to track it? (you have the M roadster for the track)

Scalbert I'm disappointed in you, I'm 99% sure he was kidding. Either that or I don't even want to think about it.

Actually the e36 was always a good choice, but I didn't really want one, but it's been growing on me and more reasons have come to pass why it's the better decision.

As for the rest:

335 will NEVER EVER be a good track car, it is impossible, even stock I run up to 290 degree oil temps at Sebring, just unacceptable, while it can be SOMEWHAT solved with an oil cooler that doesn't fix the underlying issue. There are also too many plain reliability concerns for the engine. It really wasn't meant to be put on track. If I was going to strip down a car I would start with something else.

I had originally planned on it being a fast street car but the 400hp ceiling the car has is well below my expectations.



As for the 500hp, it's not a bragging thing, I don't brag about HP, it's an enjoyment thing. The M coupe is both for the track and daily driving because it does both superbly (sans the missing back seat), the 500hp is just for street fun, yes irresponsible dangerous street fun.
