Oh.  Sorry, I'm an Audi guy.  Dollar for dollar, better cars for the money.  Not for people who have to keep up with fashion, though.  The Cap'n

i really used to be a fan, but have seen too many people have problems with them lately. but an s4 would be really cool.

and i drive a 914. hardly fashionable. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I was kidding about the "fashionable", although it IS pretty trendy to have a Bimmer. What you want is a 92-94 Ur S4. Lot of them on the audifans marketplace right now. To tell you the truth, we see far more BMWs for repairs than for service, and fewer Audis for repairs than we do for service. The Cap'n

ideally.............a 97 or 98 M3 sedan.
but i would settle for a 3 series or 5 series 5 speed, probably no newer than a 2000 to fit my budget, and no older than a 94. mileage under 90k and not RED or Boston Green.

Have you tried www.roadfly.com ?

I will just tell you... I have a 98 540i Sport 6 speed and I love it. Fast (amost 300hp), comfortable, the fold down rear seats hold lots of cargo. I looked at one e36 M3(a car I really like BTW) and I am not sure the quality compares to the 5. The 3's seem a little cheaper. I still love the look of the e36 M3 and I still lust for one.

And yeah, stay away from the green ones, they look too uppity or something. Also, there are purple M3's, another color I would stay away from.

You could consider an e34 M5. They are probably in your price range, they are rare but sweet.

Good luck with the hunt

I drove a 99 528 and 98 540 back to back and wasn't super impressed. i actually preferred the under powered 528 to the 540. then i drove a 3 series the next day, and loved it. i prefer small and quick rather than big and powerful.
i'll check roadfly. thanks

I did find 2 new M3's on autotrader today. same mileage, but about $2,000 difference in price. the problem is the cheaper one is white.
The M3 sedan is not a very common car, so i wonder if i should sit and wait, or just buy what i can find.

i really thought i wanted one, and that's all i was looking at for a while. plus, they are almost equally priced with the 3 series, so they are pretty good bargains. i'd still consider the 528, but i think i've ruled out the 540. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

You have an e34 then? You are exempt from all that because you have a "usable classic" You have the last year of one of the prettiest BMW's made and with a V8. Your car also has the wide snout grill.



Don't feel bad, I've owned 2 5's (e34,e39) and I'm not an old man either.




















But neither of them were green.

You might find a DD under a lawyer.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Well, not at this minute... She's not home right now!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (Why do you think I'm on the Club board?)

On the M3 subject, just keep looking. A friend of mine picked up a ~99 M3 convertible last year for what seemed to be "decent" money. Yes, manual transmission. He had a number of candidate cars that he was researching over the previous three months or so. I think he looked in the same places the original poster mentioned (e.g., autotrader.com, cars.com, craigslist, etc.) and he eventually found one he liked.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that the convertibles were reputed to be for "rich secretaries". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

mid last year i was able to attend a test drive event Lexus held @ Dodger Stadium. Out of all the cars there, a new 3 rocked and the 5 series was mediocre. The 3 series was awesome and i loved the steering assist system, but the 5 was just a heavy slug. Oh yea the lexus'es were fun too, but the bimmers were better (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) BTW what's your budget again?
