Thread: ZHP vs E36 M3

    ZHP vs E36 M3

    Howdy all, question that I am curious about. Have any of you driven an E36 M3? There is one with an auto trans that just came up on C&B that I am debating on bidding. I love my auto ZHP sedan and am curious on differences/similarities in driving experiences between it and the E36 M3. The posting is below.

    This is my ZHP that I bought back in October of 2020.

    Do not have experience with driving an e36 m3, but that is a one owner in a rarer color. That car will touch $12-15K easy.

    I have heard that performance between the E36 M3 and E46 ZHP are close. The interiors of the E36 is not nearly as good quality as the E46. Something to think about. There are comments referring to poor quality door cards in the E36. It depends on what you're wanting... I have been told the E36 is more a raw feeling car as compared to the E46. Personally, I have never driven an E36 M3 but I have ridden in an E36 M3 Coupe. With a solid suspension, they feel like you're riding in a go-kart.

    ^ That's pretty much it. Performance wise they're about the same. The e36 is much raw-er. I'd like to have one for stripped out funsies, but the e46 is significantly better as a daily driver.
