1986 BMW E30 M3 
i would like to stay outside the trend of e30s and i would like a car with less than 40k miles, so i stay under factory warranty
a co-workerâs son bought one over the summer. only problem iâve heard about is a starting/restarting problem that seemed pretty common from what they were saying.
I like the car overall but I donât like a few things, crazy from fenders, and the rotary. Anenât you supposed to shut the motor off from 4k rpmâs or something like that, when itâs cold out?
rotary DD? what about picking up a late model e36 or an early model e46?

woodyâŚnot sure how you feel about them butâŚwe have a porche boxter at toyotaâŚ40K miles 2004⌠5spd.
Itâs not fast by any meansâŚbut itâs a porche and would make for a great dd
Back a few years ago my boss had a boxster and a 911 carrera. Might not have been super fast, but the boxster was 100X funner to drive than the carrera. I really liked the boxster.
box > rotard
all mazda (current / production) cars are lame. zoom zoom, my ass

woody can drive anything in the winter. he proved it 2 years ago.
all i can say is the rx-8â mazdaspeeds in the grand am GT class were SEcs on wheelz when they ripped past at 9 grand.
my father has a turboII FC. and getting stranded with the hot start flood issue sucks ass.
Im sure the rotary forums can lead to a fix. the wankle is a interesting powerplant.
although i did prove to a lot of people that you CAN drive anything in the winter 2 years ago, i had to move a boxster around the parking lot at nissan just this past february⌠it didnt move much. with just an inch of fresh snow on the ground, it couldnt make it up a 5 degree incline. fuck a whole bunch of driving that year round, even with snow tires. that and its probably out of my price range anyway my budget is about 20k
the 8 with snow tires should be just fine in snow. itâll make for some fun dorifto action too basically what it comes down to is im not going to have the z back out this year. i want a fun car that i can drive year round as a daily so i can at least enjoy the summer a little. the more i read about the car, the more i like it. i dont think ive ever seen a consumer rating of 9.5 on edmunds for any car before⌠now i have. i do want to hear more about this flooding problem though.
my friend drove an rx8 through the winter and owned one for around a year or so. you can email him at pdewald@nanodynamics.com
his name is paul, you can tell him adam sent you

was it an enjoyable experience or did it end poorly?
he liked it⌠i didnt mind it, i dont remember his reason for selling but i dont believe it was for any other reason than he realized a 36k car may have been a mistake at that point in his life lol
I drove mine through last winter. No problems with snow tires.
