hey man, i know quite a bit about m3′s? but have a question about a coupe 1997 e36 m3 that dont have the the bmw stripes on them… help? i have pictures too so if you can pm me thatd be great!
@av7447 – Yes, i’m illuminating the garage? walls. I did a video on pre-purchase advice for people looking to buy a garage right before this vid. I must have forgot to re-arrange the lighting.
@Siper2 -? Thanks. And thanks for watching.
What are? you illuminating, your garage walls ???
@ajk150 Or it could be stolen? :/
fiveightandten – I don’t own a Bimmer, but I’m extremely impressed with your videos,? here. Nice job, thanks for bringing this to everyone!
@fiveightandten God damnit, I wish? you did all of this, but with an e46 m3 XD
@TheAlpinab10 It is a US M3. The engine cover and intake manifold is different to? that of the EU and RSA versions.
@ajk150 – If there is no VIN? it’s been either replaced, removed, or painted over. The fenders have VIN tags put on them from the factory.
what if theres no vin? at all on a fender does that mean its been replaced?
I? found a 98 with 15k miles
thanks for uploading ‘five…good? ish
Found one with 300K miles, all original records in excellent condition. Trying to decide what a fair offer is… Difficult job.?
@fiveightandten so must be this M USA? version
@TheAlpinab10 – The car? is an M3. Please do some research before spreading misinformation.
@mortalwinggk7 you gonna wrap it around a tree just like i did. but u might? not get as lucky as i did and walk out of the car.
4sho, thank you, I have owned and maintained a(n) e30 for 2 years. It was the only car I ever learned about. I did so many things to it too. Now l’m debating? over these cars in this order ; e36 manual(convertible if possible to find decent) e38(740) or another e30.
thanks? alot for this video im looking to buy an e36 right now this helps
@fiveightandten Maybe a pre-purchase for that WRX? i? like ur vids
awsome video. are the vins on the? fenders on a e46 m3 just like this one ??
omg this is not? M
Your voice sorta reminds me of the bald? guy from “Pawn Stars”.
@Mr330d – If you’re referring to the 6 cylinder looking things you see to the right of the? engine cover, that’s the intake manifold. It feeds air into the cylinders, which are inside the engine, and thus not visible without disassembling it.
@fiveightandten without sounding really dumb them 6 things right beside? the engine there them’s the cylinders right?? my e46 330d has a cover you cn’t see anything and i’v never botherd removing it lol take a look at my youtube channel it’s my main pic it’s a uk version love the e36 m3′s my mate has 1 its like a dark purple tho but looks amazing
Lol Courtesy Of The Red White And Blue? nice.
