Curious of the value of my e36 M3??
-
So the week before i went off to college, I picked up this e36 m3 for cheap. Now that winter is approaching i feel like i should sell this and get a more suitable winter vehicle. The market for e36's is all over the board and with the modification just curious what a good starting point would be. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
1995 m3 w/ 158xxx miles
5 speed zf trans
Felony Form body kit (was put on half-assed by previous owner)
M3 side skirts are held on by self tappers (kinda goes along with felony form style)
Megan racing coilovers
XXR18x9 and 18x11 wheels with good tires
Wheel stud conversion
Passanger door panel falls off (needs to clips)
Stainless steel headers w/ full exhaust
Chipped ecu

Agreed. I don't follow prices for e36s, but my thoughts about buying this were: "how much am I willing to lose for the right to drive this b*tch into the ground?" This is not a vehicle that is going to appreciate in value, ever. At least not without spending a ton of money doing something with it... (*cough* race car *cough*)

I think everyone else has pretty much nailed it, $3-$4k to the right buyer who's going to buy it and take the engine or drive it in to the ground. The parts aren't very desirable and it's in poor to fair condition. Really clean, low mileage, all original e36 m3's are in the low teens right now with some dinan cars a lil higher.
With that said, I drove a lowered e36 in the winter with snow tires for 2 winters and it was awesome. Before that, I drove a stock height e36 on all seasons for 5 years and it was average. As long as you know how to drive these cars really aren't bad in the winter. Ground clearance is an issue with a lowered car obviously but for the 2 winters I had my lowered e36 I never got stuck.

Just drive it in winter. It's not worth enough to matter, and an E36 with a LSD and snow tires makes for a really great winter car. I loved mine in snow.
