E92 M3 vs E36 M3

Magnetic Fusion · 10-05-2016, 09:36 PM

So after owning both cars for quite a few years I've mapped out 5 things that I like about the E36 M3 over my E92 M3 despite the E92 being, by far, a superior car in every way.

I had my E36 M3 for 14 years; full Dinan kit in it and then some.
Once I got the E90, I forgot about the E36

I forgot about mine too but now I miss it. I'm doing a whole video spread of bringing it back to life.

The E36 has a go kart feel compared to the E92. Keep in mind i had a 328.

Our E36 M3 is a much better autocross car because of being smaller and lighter. Short of flicking the car around quickly at autocross events, I love the E92 sooooo much more.

I'm still trying to decide either to track my E36 M3 or just have some fun doing simple mods and looks for shows. Haven't decided yet. I got it up and running just need to get it registered then I'll decide. But yeah I definitely the comforts of my E92 M3. Just getting back into my E36 M3 brings up so many memories. Hard to even think about getting rid of the car. I wish there was a section here for it in this forum but i have to post on Bimmerforums instead.

I have some friends that have 328 that supercharge them. The thing about the E36 models is that all are basically the same. Suspension is a bit different along with the cams and crank but generally you can create a M3 from a 328 so I'm sure the fun factor is there regardless
