yungboss:
a car that has hp from 240bhp up to 321bhp...all the e36 m3 would be faster than the 2007 Camry V6...
wait till I get the e36 evolution, then we'll see on special invitation. It'll be a contest for fund raising for Charity...

I will probably change my car to a newer Audi S4 in about 2 years.

CityNG: Assuming, and only assuming that it is running and driving under it's own power and needs nothing other than the cosmetics then I think it's worth it for $2,500

Out here you'll get this for around $1,000, plus my fees of $500, plus shipping of $2,000 equals $3,500 and then you'll add clearing and registration.

So yes if you like the car then the value is there.

Good luck.

PS: Put an M3 bumper.

Shipping of $2000! shocked is it coming by flight from the moon?

I'm sorry,and to the Op too. Negative comments were already being made so I had to highlight the value of some good about the car. After reading all these he would make a better informed decision. I'm not against negative comments though, they form a part of many areas to consider too.

Mist100: Am considering buying this car for 400k (Its either a 2000 or 2001 model). I would love your opinions on maintenance. Response please.

Fulaman198: I would not pay that much for an E36. The car is too old.

But you'd gladly part with 470k for a '98 camry? undecided

Speed and the rest isn't much of a problem to me. If you have used this E36 what was your experience like. Maintenance, spare parts availability, fuel consumption and the likes. Just simple details. Thanks anyways for the education it was still worth my time.

HP=torque * RPM/5252. In a lay man's language its a determinant of d strenght, acceleration n speed of a car.
Quite suprising how a bmw M6 that weighs 105kg more and have 35hp less than an E63 AMG will eat up that E63AMG and spit out its exhaust pipes for all to see.

Horses, torques and weights are one thing and they alone can't be the reason why a car will drive faster than another.

Forget age, and aesthetics and V6 and 267hp. That E36 will outperform a camry (and even a solara) on the twisties. And the driver of the E36 will always wear a smile always. Trust me.

OP at the end of the day you'll be able to sift through the thread and make an educated decision.

The 3 series BMW are their bread and butter. They are solidly engineered vehicles and should serve you well.

I've personally owned over 10 of them over the years. My love affair with BMW is strong and I have owned a 1602 like Siena.

Here are some pics of "some of mine".

One of the pics shows a BMW 2002 that I was restoring and another shows a head on collision with a dunce Mercedes driver who ran a red light.

Good luck on your decision.

PS: I think you got the idea on my previous post, I wasn't offering to sell you any car at all, I was just showing you pricing to compare and to see that this car is a great value in my opinion. I think you should buy it.

I totally lost automotive respect for him as soon as I read the M3 part. Totally clueless person.

Hahaha. You are funny grin . I bet you don't know what the 5252 in equation is for.

Speed is a scalar, torque and HP are vectors. You can't interchange the use in any logical statement. Torque is rotational momentum and speed is distance per time. Assuming in a vacuum two objects of different mass (weight) are at the same momentum1, the smaller object would be faster. If you apply that logic in a car, you find out heavier objects are slower if same momentum ( which is torque) so faster means more HP or torque and less weight. I don't want to go into more mechanics so others can follow.

1Momentum is mass x velocity (speed)
M1 V1 = M2 V2
M= mass
v= velocity ( speed)


More HP does not mean faster if it did diesel engines would be the standard for racing.

My point is
1. Speed is not measured in HP
2. More HP doesn't mean faster.
3. HP to weigh ratio determines speed.(with all other factors being equal)

Fuel consumption is superb....parts readily available....think the complete 4cylinder engine costsless than 50k.....iit's a great car....second only to the w202 c class which is certainly more luxuriousb but with compromise on performance except for the 230, 220,200 electric throttle. Kompressor.....yungboss can testify to these.

Bros you did a nice job explaining what others couldn't, why are you back to the argument? There will not be a winner in this, just passionate users emotionally attached to their cars.

Abeg let's get back to the basis of the thread please.

I'm sure in your little brain your lunatic ramblings make sense to you.

Your position is a weak and pathetic one.
