I have the opportunity to buy an E30 M3 in pretty good condition. Thinking about using it as a fun backup car to the Evo when I mod her. I used to have a Honda Accord as a backup when I modded my WRX and always wanted to be driving the WRX when driving the Honda. Just want my backup car to be as close to as much fun as my Evo. What do you guys think. Would a car that old make a good backup car?

 

e30 m3 is a great back up car in my opinion

 

I love the e30 m3's. amazing looking cars that have decent NA power to be fun and handle. I say yeah.

 

E30 M3s are wonderful cars!

If it's in good condition, I say go for it!

You'll have fun w/ this. hehhehehe

 

The E30 M3 is one of my favorite cars of all time. It can be expensive to maintain, but if you have the EVO, no worries. The EVO actually reminds me of the E30 M3s, small car, wide fenders and a big spoiler .

 

s14's are kinda rare and very pricey- look into E30 325IX

 

The e30 M3 is a great weekend car. Wouldn't get it to be "old reliable" if ya know what I mean. Fun track car tho

 

The most versatile M3 of all time. Very agile and sharp. My neighbor has one in white in excellent cond. Too bad he aint selling it. Sigh.

 

i like the old datsun 510's cheaper to maintain and are fun to drive

 

^ So is the E30 M3. Have u driven one? They're awesome. I dont know about maintenance tho, haha. Definitely one of my favs.

 

Nice.

Sounds like that S14 is turbo charged?

 

are you looking at - there are a few in NJ right now for sale

Don't expect any power close to your Evo -

 

it would be the other way around evo for a m3 backup car, they are way pricey to maintain and most dont run correctly. you will hear they all run like this its a lie, just most do and its not right my opinion would be to just buy a normal e30, youd be way better off

 

and just in case your set on one- this is a good place to start looking for one
