Very Nice Pics. They look like they belong in the dealer Brochure! It is a very nice ride, with more power. The only downside to owning that car, is maintenance, Repair, and Gas. If your not worried about spending a little more to own and upkeep the car, I would say go for it. Let us know what you decide.

(owner) I get about 24 MPG which isn't to shabby...
I maintain and repair my car myself so the costs are minimal.
But I will tell you one thing, DTM parts are so expensive!!!
But to me thats the beauty of it..knowing that you over payed for everything on your car lol. JK group buys are a huge help on Bimmerforums.com

well, it might be more expensive to maintain because of cost of parts. insurance might be a jump since it is a true sports car compared to the tc. and if you don't kno how to do your own maitenance and work, it can get very expensive because shops that specilize on german cars can be pricey...

not hating, it is a very nice looking car, and yeah, rwd, and like what, 240 bhp is pretty nice.

(owner) Its cool homie.
Your def. right bout the shops tho they are incredibly pricey. Considering the engine mods i've done, i'm hoping to put down 218WHP but i'm still awaiting a dyno so don't quote me on that, lol.
RWD is so much fun and especially with an e36. Considering the fact that, stock, they come with adjustable rear control arms and camber plates. This allows you to drop the camber to -3.5 degrees (which is what i am currently running in the rear). But most importantly the lsd makes it real easy to drift and kick out that rear end.

I agree the e36 M3's look better as a sedan than coupe. That one in particular looks tastefully done.
