> [@OsoiNA6"](#): > > Chuck why don’t you buy an E36? You could get into one for half your budget and spend the rest on handling / power stuff, or just buy a nicely sorted car for $10k. An E36 M3 would be in the budget too but it would be high mileage. Buy someone else’s unfinished project and make it your own for maximum savings. > > S2k is a nice car, but in your budget you’re looking way at the low range of cars on the market. You will spend more than $10k all in all since you’ll have to buy winter tires, etc to make it a daily. Should be reliable though. You can forget about owning one with a hardtop too at that price point. > > E30 M3, they are nice cars but way overpriced. If your wall does not have a picture of a Warsteiner M3 jumping the curb balls out on a track, forget it, you don’t want it enough to pay the premium. I never really got into bmw’s. Plus, everyone has one now because the price has gone down. I’ve looked real hard and couldn’t find anything I wanted with less than 95k on it. I’ve actually found a very nice, completely stock s2k with semi low miles from a dealer. I will be conracting them tomorrow. The price is a tad high but we’ll see how it goes. I already have 16" studded snow tires from my wrx so I’ll be set for winter. When I sell my rpf1’s I’ll look into either a hardtop or a hard dog roll bar. ---
