Yes don't buy these cars so I can buy them

[kcdesignconcepts]

I own 2 e36 BMWs. I didn't buy them because they are practical in this day in age. I bought them because they are so much fun to drive. And The Styling is timeless.

Well, too late.
I own a e36 and a e46
*Looking to buy an e30 right now*

The pros really outweigh the cons imo... I bought mine with 300k km on the clock, had the bodywork done, brakes upgraded and now I'm on engine maintenance and mods. E36s are super fun to drive and worth every penny!

I mean if you like old bmws and you’re a car guy you wouldn’t care at all

[shelby]

I own an E30 325iS and e36 328iS. Both cars I purchased, in order to restore them. Doing the work myself is super rewarding and a great hobby.
You make some valid points but the fact is, I hate new cars and their (tech).
Something to be said about simplicity. Sure maintenance can be a bitch but really, if my radio stops working, the car still runs. Old cars rock.

We bought this car because of the 90’s look, the smell, the vibration, the engine sounds, the rawness of the chassis when you throw it around, and the most importantly the way it makes you feel like you’re going fast when you are behind the wheel, and yes have to you pay for that experience with this car. We don’t think rationally when we buy this car, but emotionally!

Just be ready to replace almost every vacuum line, cooling system, disa valve, bushings, headliners, window regulators, vanos and do it your self because mechanics try to finesse you!

bmw guys never say "old or new" bmw its bmw! ...never get old .

[almazan]

I agree with about 10% of this...the remaining 90% is the same for all old cars

[ItsZohn]

Buying a bmw is a great time if you work on it yourself. Some of the most fun cars to drive ever, and the styling is timeless.

[Boltman]

I have an 03 e46 and my fam thinks I'm nuts investing into the motor, suspension, wheels etc. I love my car and I'l never get rid of it. Changing coils, vanos solenoid etc is all worth it. Such a fun car to drive and the design, looks, and weight distribution of the e46 is amazing & timeless.

[EscormHST]

I own a E36 coupe and E39, and what I've learned for the last few years of ownership is that these are cars for enthusiasts IMO. If you're just looking for a reliable car I don't think any BMW is a good idea, even the newer ones. You just gotta love driving and working on it to fully appreciate it.

I love my E39!

The new cars lack character. They just look like a pile of money.

The pure mechanical and analog feel I get from my E39 is priceless!

After changing all the suspension parts, the car handles great.

[XclusiveAaron]

I've had 2 E46 BMWs, been incredible reliable never let me down, both needed old bushings replacing like you said and a little rust repair but both were extremely reliable did thousands of hastle free miles 👍

[TechTokOffical]

I love how someone who pays another person to fix their car talks like an expert

[TheHolyCheese]

I love my e34, few minor wiring issues here & there but my m50b25 engine is bulletproof. Every thing is nice & simple, easy to work on. And most of all it drives raw, like a real car. Modern cars are too artificial for my liking.

[AliasHSW]

Mo’ power does not equal more fun! — says my e30 318is.

I come from a BMW family, and have been lucky enough to own two. I live in the US now, and instead of buying a BMW, I bought a new Corvette with a Manual Transmission. Best choice ever! Get a Corvette, they are amazing!
