I dont think i would buy any of those! I'll put in my vote in for the FPV. I like M3's but not the E36. I prefer the E30 and E42. Some other alternatives:

Plenty of quick sedans around that price range:

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (V6, 184kw)

V35 Nissan Skyline GT-8 (V6, 206kw)

E34 BMW M5 (i6, 234kw)

B5 Audi S4 (V6 biturbo, 195kw)

W202 Mercedes C43 AMG (V8, 225kw)

X308 Jaguar XJR (V8 supercharged, 276kw)

Or some japanese coupes:

V35 Nissan 350GT Coupe (V6, 206kw)

Honda S2000 (i4, 176kw)

And my favourite (but horribly impractical) idea:

E31 BMW 850Ci (V12, 220kw) or BMW 850CSi (V12, 280kw), as shown below:

Mazda RX-7 Series 8 - My first choice also with a few mods.or 2nd hand job and do it up with the cash saved.

Nissan 350Z Z33 Track - My second choice.I have seen good reveiws about this car in BMI with a few mods.

BMW M3 E36 - My third choice.witha few power and handeling mods.cant go past that luxury and power

Toyota Supra 2JZ TT- meh.toss up between it and the BMW.It would out power the M3 but not outhandle.

I'd have to go the RX7, theyre fast, powerful, sleek, sexy, and sound really f**king nice...

second choice would be the Supra, but i know too many people with a supra, i dont know anyone personally with an RX7...

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
