yes… I love it. problem is, I could never justify the maintenance on that motor… its insane, they are horribly expensive to maintain, and not reliable. They are basically a very high strung race motor. ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > But at 26K, I could buy a used E46 :shrug: e36’s are still in the $20K price range (98’s & 99’s) used e46’s are still high 30K’s… and that’s for the '01 which had the bad main bearing supplier…so those are a bit cheaper. 02’s and 03’s are over $40K still. if you’re a collector… it’s worth the 26K… It’s for the most part original. It will only gain value with age. The e30 M3 has already met its plumit on value…it’s already on the way up. You’ll only see them getting more and more expensive. ---

well they might not be worth 26k, but they still go for alot. the rule of thumb is at least 15k when you buy an E30 M3. either you spend at least 15k up front, or spend 10k (on one thats really beat) and put another 5k into fixing it up. those S14 motors are rather expensive to maintain, but thats what you get with a nearly full race motor. they did very little to detune them for the street. still those cars are sex on wheels.
