    Not really. An E36 M3 is a stupid choice over a WRX Wagon especially during winter months. Especially around where we live. Shitty country roads that take a day to get plowed, steep hills in town, and we get hella snow drifts, that get cars stuck all the time. 

    I'm just trying to sway Rowley's one track mind into the hopeful, right direction. I only do this, because I know Rowley on a more friend basis then as to forum member. Just lookin' out for my shaggy haired buddy.

      Thanks Dood :) Yea I'm really not sure yet. Definitely not a m3. That was just a pipe dream haha. Maybe if I just modified this fucking wrx it would make me happy...

        3" straight pipe. Subaru's sound titties with a good exhaust.

          I thought my M3 would be a great choice for winter but things happen QUICKLY in that car even with nice all seasons on it. It kicks out on you really abruptly and with track on it barely moves. I basically second gear start it with trac off. An E46 xi is an excellent choice I love the way it sticks in the snow. I would not recommend the two door e36's because of the window mechanism for winter. You will be busting clips and who knows what else. E36 sedan is a great choice with some winter tires maybe a 323 325 or 328.

            I have cat back currently. custom mid pipe and perrin 3" axle back from august! Depending on whether or not I keep it, it will have an hy35 on it with e85 and a quick spool vavle. Should be funny. Stock everything almost, walbro 255, id1000 or whatever i find. AMS is going to tune it. The new tig welder gets here thursday! Got a diversion 180. Moved from the shop home, so we needed an inverter machine because of the power demands.

                honestly though. What is the room in the back like? can you fit a good bit in the hatch? I'm interested in this car for sure.

                    If I could, I'd park my E30 in the winter and get a nice E34 for my DD. Unfortunately, I don't have room for another car, and can't afford to buy an E34 without selling the E30.

                          The compact can hold a good bit. I hauled four style 5's with tires to get them mounted with a bit of room to spare. It wad great using it to move into my apartment too

                              Fuck hy35's. Just go FPred or FPgreen. Don't bother with a weak HY35.

                                Flows more than I need. And I have one, so its cheap. Not only that, it will be reliable as nuts, and its actually twin scroll, so i can do a quick spool valve. and it has the 9cm exhaust housing but still flows like an hx35. Oh, and i rebuilt it for like 70$ haha

                                          I honestly love having an E28 that, I don't mind setting a engine on the decklid of, little 2 year old girls throwing a screw driver at the door, door dings. Putting in the ditch. Etc. It's nice not having to worry about the small things, while my nice E28 and the E46 stay at home/in my shop.
