I bought an m3 in 2008. fucking thing died on my way home from the place I bought it. the main things were: vanos leaking oil, as well as the whole engine, air filter had probably never been changed, holes in the exhaust system, the carbon fiber air intake was broken and leaked, the car had also been crashed at some point. I payed about 5-6000 pounds roughly calculated. sold it for about 2000 6 months later. drove about 900 kms one way to buy that car, and I was in the middle of a cancer treatment. too bad the guy who sold it totally fucked me. so don't feel too bad about yours! I drive an impreza today and am fully recovered from both the m3 and the cancer.

This is a 20 year old normally used car.
Yes the previous MOT was performed by Stevie Wonder.
But its not bad for its age.
If you can't handle corrosion, worn out suspension components and stuff battered then you are buying the wrong era car for the wrong money.
I'm sure there are some quite nice ones about for £25, 000.

Why did you not just pay this guy to check out the car like you did now before buying it?

[edcunhaph]

For a car of that age and mileage it's quite good I believe!

Dudes, this video came up in my recommendations, and it says right below it "5 years ago". It is as if it was yesterday, good vibes.

[Wagon_Attack]

It aint a beamer if it doesnt leak oil.

That's hardly a lemon mate, could've been a lot worse...

I've had two M3 saloons, one 3.2 evo and one 3.0 in daytona violet great cars. Worth hanging on to prices are on the up 👍 nice video and good technician. Cheers ML

thats only around 10k (including repairs) for a fully functioning e36 m3 without rust, thats not bad at all

[joshkauf]

Rust? More like weight reduction, bro.

Collin and Phil... Phill Collins, oh my god I just realized that!

[roelfkromhout]

3500 pounds for fixing all that? Not too bad if you ask me.

[jose_s_bam]

a BMW with 5 previous owners? that's the definition of lemon right there!

[jizzyg]

My mechanic, after seeing my first car floor, refused to lift it on those big lifts. He was scared it's gonna break in half or something

[thebadassassin]

I thought the title read "I Screwed Up By Buying An E36 M3 a Lemon" and the first few mins of the video wondering where the lemon was XD

[perchancethishandleiswens]

3500 pounds for those repairs and probably some replacement, including the rust repairs, with paint, seals, etc? That is still a very good deal man
