1. Did they put Vader seats in the e36 M3 convertible?
2. Is it necessary to have a roll bar to AutoX in a convertible?
3. Is it true that chicks really dig convertibles?

Uli just has a roll bar put into his E36 vert. Looks really nice but only need for track, not for autocross.

There was not much back seat usage before, there is less now.

I just came back from murray w/fam.

2 things.

1. there are some random E90's sitting in the back of the used lot. nice.
2. silver E36 M3 Verts, are honestly, HOT AS HELL. clears, suspension, intake, and you are golden.

(p.s. Makr drove right past us on State Street... so DTM right now.)

now while it says that the car is a repaint in the add, I will tell you its not. This is listed a t a chevy dealership, the dont have a clue. They think the color wasnt available (as do most people) but it was! the buzz around the water cooler is this is NOT repainted.

We've catalogued every e36 M3 vert w/5-speed on Autotrader, roadfly, and ebay and Ben is correct, this is the lowest miles and probably the best deal.
We bid on it but were outbid.

We found one in ogden but we have yet to look at it. 24*** but he is flexible. Its silver on black from seattle he has had it about a year, 1999. The guy is moving out of the country and needs to sell it.

northwest cars are usually pretty good, though they have a tendency to rust easy

you love the red one because it is Imola instead of Hellrot

You don't need a rollbar for AutoX but if you want to take it on the track you probably need one. Actually you owe it to yourself to have a rollbar for track events.

If you have the factory rollover protection (I believe all of the 'newer' models came that way stock), you need to be prepared that they pop on you while you screw-up in Autox. The sensor setting is overly cautious and if it does engage you probably should have your top down. Otherwise it stretches the the plastic rear window. Not a big deal because it recovers from it but you may end up with some minor scratches, which you want to avoid.

Then you need to figure out how to push them back down, which isn't that hard if you know how to do it. Josh figured it out for me so he or I can show you how to do it.

either are so sessy in my book. red red wine makes me feel so fine.

Imola is the hottest e36 color. because unlike a certain other extremely rare hue, it actually looks good. :wave :beer

Only convert you can have as a man is a silver convert all others are questionable. Buy a coupe better looking.IMO

Interestingly, there are a lot of silver verts out there. Some in great shape, including the one that BMW of M has right now (though they want a small fortune for theirs ('99 M3 w/36,000 = $29k).

I, too, like the Silver.
