997S v. E36 m3
i stop at a light and a white e36 m3 pulls next to me. i look over and the driver is trying to tell me something, i roll down my window, "stick?", me with a weird (are you crazy look) "of course, why get a p w/ no stick". he gives me a thumbs up. i tell him that he has a very nice car and how iused tohave one and still miss it (i really do). he asks if my car is stock and i tell him yes, its only 2 weeks old, he gives me another thumbs up (funny guy). then he asks me if its fast and i say, "i used to have a clk55 and its definitely faster", he looked at me like 
(very surprised) , i said "yeah".
light turns green, i take off normally, his front bumper is at halfway point on my right door. i hear his engine at WOT, i wait a tiny bit and go WOT, through 1st we were pretty close, i shift (i can shift pretty fast) at exactly 7k, chirp as 2nd hits home (dunno how it chirped, that engine gives great traction), he's about 3/4 back now, top of 2nd and i begin pulling hard, 7k, hit 3rd, hes about 4 cars back, 7k, 4th gear im really pulling now, at about 120 i was about 8 cars ahead.
i threw up a peace sign through the sunroof, made a right, he followed but got on the freeway right away.
his car had exhaust and was lowered, might have had some other ****

When did the E36 first come out stateside, 1997? 1998- and 9 years later it still gets posted in a kill story. If I was the E36 owner Id take that as a compliment losing to a 997 Carrera.

I agree with that, no one here should post kills about their AMG's wiping out Civic LX's but a E36 is no slouch IMO even today especially in the handling column.

and I don't know if any of you know this
I belive it was in 1997, that E36 m3 was tested to be world's best handeling car at that time
better than porsches and ferrari, and many more

the e36 m3, z3 m coupe and e39 m5 were the last real m5 cars.
1st they **** up the new m5 by putting smg in it (w/ stick n/a), then they fix that by putting a stick in it but **** it up by not letting you fully disable dsc. what the **** is the world coming to?
i was really considering a stick m5 too, after it was confirmed that dsc wasnt defeateble i didnt even bother test driving it
