Some are.. See the odd E30 M3 EVO asking $100k :( Most of the good non EVO one's seem to be sitting around that 45k - 55k mark though

Dad sold his E30 M3 for like 30k in the early 90's :laugh:

Oh to turn back the clock

Tru but you can pick up an early model e46 for 50-60k even the later model 05 n 06 models are only selling for 70-100kish. Still expensive but I don't think I'd have an e30 over the e46

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

I can't afford either of them so price is irrelevant

:laugh:

Fair point. I wouldn't mind one as my next car. See how we go lol.

e36 is a good shout I like the r33 comparison lol.

could have got you one a couple years back for a steal, one of our sales men put it in the river after a little drink driving session

Step one: Never get a GF

Step two: never go out

Step three: M3 ownership

Step four: Profit

yeah true. For that kind of money I wouldn't buy a ferrari though.

I’m not a Ferrari-boy anyway, I appreciate their engineering, but not for me. GT3 RS on the other hand

GT3 RS...swoon

VW lover eh?

im goin to try drive the 35 GTR we have traded in tomorrow, the Evo X was a dissapointment

Grew up with a very German family, Porsche’s and M3’s. I’d be disowned if I ever went to the darkside

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
