Performance, handling and stopping you wouldn’t realistically buy an E30 M3 other than acknowledging it for what it was, in its day.
A very good one will only make 110rwkw – 115rwkw, which is pretty depressing.
Bargain buying are the E36’s, shape wise they are a bit of an “R33”.. If you know what I mean, but to get into an M3 that can offer enough of a package to play with other cars you cannot go wrong.
Drove a 3.0lt 5speed, not too shabby want to get my hands onto the 3.2lt 6pd thou.
Bit hard getting bolt on performance parts as the US market got the dunga non M3 motor, but never the less cool things still pop up
