Keepin the 3rd gen and bought a 1995 M3
Still keeping the maxima but I just bought a 1995 m3. Daytona Violet with black sport interior. Its a 5 speed. Needs little maintanence issues but nothing big. Has 153,000 miles but compression is excellent. Enjoy the pics and I will still be around.
hehhehehehehehheehe 
How much did it cost.

Well I will be doing most of the repairs myself and from the dealer I get a 20% off and no tax so parts aren't that bad. Aftermarket parts is more than the maxima but not bad due to a sponsorship through my good friend. I paid $9300.00. Car pulls great and all. Just needs the following;
struts and shocks, replacing them with FK coil-overs highsports.
steering pump makes noise, getting a used good unit.
power steering lines and thats it.

but they said one wheel locked up from the diff and it caused him to go to a spin. maybe something got stuck in the diff. well good luck on the new ride.

nice man!!!! that M3 is one of my dreamcars and it actually being attainable is starting to **** me off cause I'm seeing so many of those exact models now for $10-14k, and I'm broke....and IMO those were the best looking ones 
I would love to have a 5 series myself!

Shawn those are the vader sport seats, I told you I wouldn't buy one if the car didn't have them. Yea the E39 5-series is a very nice car. Turbo will come eventually but hopefully when I put the turbo I will be putting a 3.2 motor also and keeping the OBD-I set up on the car now. Well right now I just want the car to enjoy and in the two weeks I have owned it I love it even thought it does needs shocks and does hit bumps hard. Everyone, thanks for the kind words. Thank God the maxima is working fine and well hooked up so now I can concentrate on putting money into the M3.

Jason, Juan, Joe, Matt and Michael thanks for the kind words. Jason I will get it to your house once the suspension is in, I really don't like driving it the way it hits bumps and NYC doesn't help in promoting the noise. Also I didn't buy it because you bought another car 
. Joe you can't try out the clutch 
internetautomar thats good to know, when I need something I will definitely contact you.
kikcaffine, once the car is up to date with the maintenance stuff I will be looking into buying ZKW ellipsoids with DDE enhanced in them, this is what they look like and thats the set up I want eventually.
VG Ill Ridah this car will sleep during the winter, I have my VE monster to get me through the winter

lets buy em I want to see what an E36 CSL looks like, CSL from what I know is only available out of the United States and only in the e46 chasis. The crazy model of the E36 is called the lightweight. Only comes in white with the motorsport flags in the front and back.
