July 28th, 2008 09:45 AM #1Let's say you are looking at each of the two to buy. The newer M3s are just pricey and these are what are in your price range. It would be a plaything for weekends and color coding. Which of the two would you choose?
How can you tell if it is a fake or not? It seems there may be some. Is there a way of authentication through a VIN or visually?Last edited by gearhead; July 28th, 2008 at 09:55 AM.

you can check if it is the real thing through http://www.realoem.com
Enter the last the last 7 digits of the VIN and you'll find some of the car's details.

E30 M3 for me, without a doubt. i've driven both.
the E36 M3 is a phenomenal performance luxury coupe, especially in its day. the E30 M3 is a full fledged race car that BMW certified for the street

E30... a little more visceral, I would say.
But then, get whichever one is in better condition... both are pretty good cars.

hope i dont come across as a dick...
i've owned both an e30M3 and an e36M3. if i were to buy again, i'd get the e36 M3 (and it should be the eurospec). it's more livable on a daily basis, the parts are relatively easier to come by, and it is MUCH more reliable than the e30.
the 286hp of that thing is more than enough for our philippines roads. i honestly cant imagine wanting more power.
i sold the e30 cuz it really wasnt for me. it's not as fast, and despite its heritage, it is a 20+ yr old car. its glory days are long gone. AT BRC, the mini-cooper S's were handing my ass to me on a plate.
the e36, now that's something i see myself driving in again in the future. i totalled my old one, unfortunately...

E30, it's the original M3 and will be more valuable in the future. Some collectors already consider it a classic.
