I'm reminded of just how great this forum is....

[76Verona]

I haven't posted in a while, mostly because my car is running great as a direct result of this forum. Recently I was prompted to get a "family car" by my wife. She feels that the lowered springs, strut supports and lack of central heating, won't be the best thing for our new baby (coming any day now). So, to keep it in the family I found a 1997 M3 sedan (AT, unfortunately, so she can drive it too) and I began hitting the E36 forums. I couldn't believe the lack of involvement and information, and the excess of general smugness. After posting a few Q's, I received 75 views and no comments ....seriously disappointing.

So I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that make this forum possible and for all the help I've received. 2002 people are truly a different breed.

and lastly, are there ANY good E36/M3 forums????

Have you tried Roadfly.com Also what do you want to know about it?

Aint it great? I like the fact that people from all walks of life are here, irrespective of race, gender or income level. And of course, the tremendous collective knowledge is awesome. I don't know anything about newer BMW's, but I imagine you could post in the off-topic section as I think there are quite a few forum members who are in the know about those cars.

Cheers,

I was lucky when I posted a question regarding my daughter's e36 325i over at the Bimmerforums E36 board. Got an answer within an hour.

IMHO an automatic E36 M3 is great for a daily driver. I've driven two, a lSchwarz 4 door owned by the mechanic who wrenches my non-02's and Humberto Marti's sweet Dakar convertible. Fell madly in love with Humberto's, and I have dibs if he ever decides to sell it....

MyE28.com is my other hangout (for my daily driver, an '86 535i), and they can be a bit harsh with newbie posters asking a question that is posed every other day.

I got an E46 for my wife in Dec, and found the best thing to do is pour over the forum archives or perform searches to get better acquainted with the systems - much is often already there.

The E36 M3 sedan is a great car. I considered one back in '00, but was spooked by the apparent complexity & repair/maintenance costs.
