Alex from Car Throttle talks about what it is like to live with an E36 M3 lemon for a year. In this honest review, he brings forward the good and the bad things about the car, and how much it has cost him to maintain it for a full year. Alex says, it is not easy, but its worth it.
Aside from the normal costs of maintaining a lemon car, it is not all bad. Once you get it working in good condition, the E36 M3 is a great GT car. Alex has brought it to a few long-distance road trips throughout Europe and did not face any issues.
Alex says it is also quick and fun to drive. It has 280 or so horsepower and capable of 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds. He even tested it at Aitobahn and pushed it to 159 mph.
Would he do it over again, he gladly says yes!
