What do you guy think about this M3

i like the M3 and i like how it has the cosmo black and the dinan mods are cool also and its the year that i am looking for, and its not a bad price the only thing that i dont really like is how its a automatic but do you think that i would be worth it to get it and put a manual into it or would it just be better to buy one with the manual because it would be cheaper and easer.

i think you may want to just go and get a maual from the start its work and bank to swap a manual for an auto and youll be like dam i wish i had just got the manual from the start dude wait a bit longer and find the one you want man its not worth the drama n heartache of tearing the car down in the end you will spend more and not be happy so just keep looking and remember stay in school you booze you lose and punctuation helps people read posts and take you seriously and not have the words run together like some big unreadable joke good luck broham.

I think you get the award for longest run on sentence of the day, and its only 10am

I agree - wait for a manual

Side mouldings look wrong for an M. Then again that is a pretty crappy pic.

Id run the VIN to be sure.

As for getting an AUTO, I would choose the best CAR. Switching is easy to do, you could prolly do it yourself if you have a garage and tools. Being said there should be a good stick M3 around, E36s are as common as the Ford Taurus.

Yea, so you guys agree that I should keep looking, and another thing that I noticed is it doesn't say how many miles the car has, and I don't want to buy a car with extremely high miles, like if it has 200,000 + miles. It just seemed to cheap for a '95 M3 with Dinan up grades, that's another thing it doesn't say what up grades it has. Ok thanks guys for your help.

U would have a hell of alot more fun coverting, as well as learn alot more if you did the swap. But if you don't have the time patience or knowelage then i would wait.
