Would love an E36 M3, and they are trully bulletproof, its my favorite 3 series. But unlike a civic I can't pull the motor and drop a new on in less than a day.
Plus the maintainence on a Bimmer is just so much more. I just want something I can drive around and not worry about anything other than Gas, Brake Jobs, and Oil Changes.
I am pretty much mechanically retarded and I can pull my engine out of my M3 in a morning. I can pull the tranny out in a little under 3 hours, and I can pull the diff out in less than two with the right tools. The cars are a breeze to work on, I mean a BREEZE. There are other things that are amazing about German engineering other than their performance orientation.
I can get solid reputable brake rotors for $26. I can replace the entire cooling system for $250 and do it in the morning....I have 145,000miles and 5000+ track miles and the car still put down 251whp. I can't think of a cheaper,faster car to use on the track and I can't imagine how long it would last as a DD.
i agree with you man, with an E36 M3 being the performance/reliability DD king. but I just wanna drop 10K+ on a car thats about 10years old, and at 100k miles.
when I can get an 06 civic with less than 30k miles and only 4 years old.
Yeah, don't confuse what I was saying though, I was not recommending you get an E36, rather defending their reliability and how simple they are to work on. Refer to post #20 for my honest advice.
