Ok I know it's a stupid question but I still gotta get some feedback from you people drivin E46's. Ok E36 or E46?

I drive a 97' M3 (AUTO

) but instead of gettin a new car in yrs from now I really want to keep the m so since I decided to, I'd super rather have a stick so it's either sell my car for another E36 stick or wait like i guess a yr from now and get an E46 (used). Now damn, wen my dad offered (he got hooks, used car salesman) I was like fawwkkk E46. I want the power, but like I really don't want to just blow some xtra cash for it? Is it really worth it? IMO i kinda like the E36 look, little more aggressive. but damn 333hp....help me out here? I hate feeling anxious and confused...

hehehe.

You could do a manual transmission swap, if you want to keep your car and keep costs down, as compared to buying an E46 (Only the E46 M3 has 333hp... so, most likely you'd be spending a grip more).

PM MPower95, he has succesfully completed the swap from auto to manual on his 95 M3. Also, visit the E36 forum here. Most likely they will be able to answer most, if not all the questions you have about the process. Good Luck!

Peace,

p.s. You should come to a BayBimmerz meet/event; if you aren't on the evite list, email: baybimmerz@hotmail.com to be added. See you around!
