Regular Car Reviews: 1995 BMW E36 M3

Why has a conservative German GT car become the darling of "Stance Culture?" The E36 was meant to refine the tail-happy E30.

But new safety standards and uncooperative US import laws turned the North American M3 into a big lump. Here's what an E36 is used for today (2014): Roll up to a bar after the kitchen is closed, get out of your E36, pick up the car and stuff in in the front of your pants and visually lie to all the 19 year old girls with fake ID's. STANCE NAAAAAATIONNNNN! Bimmer Bro! Bro Bimmer! I scrape my splitter on Second Street. It makes a the ladies want my un-cut meat!

I remember watching this video around 6 years ago when it was released, and thinking this was the first car I liked the look of. I wasn’t into cars yet, wasn’t even driving. Here I am years later with an e36 and an e38 because of you. Thanks rcr

"BOTTOM OUT OVER A POPTART" made me chortle. Heartily.

[metaljew]

Stancing is for people who didn't pay attention in geometry class.

Best handling car of the 90's... until you stance it.

[LazerLord]

"Bottom out over a poptart" is my new reddit flair for the RCR subreddit, because my car has almost the same clearance as a McClaren.

I love this review but this things just lowered a bit, far from stanced.

[ax]

Okay, they're intakes now, wow that is like the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

[McDylanNuggets]

The fog lights were designed to fall out after a fee years to create intakes and make up for the lost power in the agreed engine. Hahaha

[twentysided]

i die a little inside every time i see stanced car.

[ChargedTTq]

Whatever you do, don't stop doing the weird lines.

[Justai]

There's going to be a lot of fanboy rage over this video, but as someone who has driven (and is still driving) a 95 M3, this is completely correct

Almost frighteningly so.

[Adeerinheadlights]

Lowered is not stanced. Slammed and slammed with outrages negative camber is stanced. AKA- dat "hella flush lyfe" Maybe that's just my opinion, idk.

[danielbaumgartner]

this really didn't feel like a review of a 1995 m3 e36, more like sombody ranting about stancing for 5 minutes.

[heilong]

Thats not stanced much at all. I was waiting for him to show us a low car with big wheels not realizing he was talking about the M3 in the video which looks like a regular car to me.

Wrong the US E36 M3 had a S50B30US engine producing 240bhp, early euro had S50B30 producing 282bhp and later one (95 and up) had S50B32 producing 321bhp.

my car is so low i can't use it, I used i intentionally

[dafrank]

For some strange reason I love the E36 M3 maybe because its not as shouty as the other M3's it doesn't have huge fenders that draw attention, it's relatively light at just under 3, 200 pounds so it handles extremely well, it's steering makes you feel connected to the road you have a good sense of what the car is doing and finally it's underdog of the M3's and even though it is almost 20 years old the slower U.S spec M3 Is still competitive with modern sports cars which I find fucking awesome!

[vaderis]

is it me; or the car in the video is not even "stanced" the ride height is just a Lil lower then stock... heck then tires are not even stretchd over the rim like " stanced" cars are...idk

[scarabmex]

"yo bro my car's so LOW I can't USE IT"
