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.

I tell you want has held there friggin value, Ferrari 355’s. Damn it, they are still asking high price’s.

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

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
