Depends on how freakishly I obtained the cash. I'd go get a decent Dakar Yellow M3. It's the best e36, hands down.

Or maybe buy me a nice CD & let the bank pay me for a change.

I'd buy myself a Volvo lip and black out the kidneys. The rest of the money I'd spend on ostrich boots, Ritz bits with cheese, taco truck burritos, and hookers.

If I were hell bent on spending the money,

1. Downing Atlanta Supercharger, still have some change for maintenance.

2. or a Metric Mechanic engine, haven't looked at their site in a while but they
used to have some drool inducing stuff in that price range.

If I were really in a position where I hadn't already done either of those things what I'd really do is take care of any maintenance/reliability issues I had, replace any worn rubber and put the rest into savings. That would be your elders talking though. Not as much fun but it is really kind of crazy to put a lot of money into what is probably a sub $3000 car.

Ahahaha hahhh ahhahahahaha!

That's the morning off to a good start!

Seriously, buy the M3 & just keep the 318 stock. That way you can postpone any maintenance...you'll always have a spare. The S52 in the M3 is just a hopped up M52...that's good for reliability & keeps maintenance costs down. Bad for performance, but I'll go with reliability any day. Otherwise I'd be thrashing a Lancia Scorpion, Pug 505, or a Alfa GTV6.

Ok, seriously, I would probably replace every single rubber bushing and mount, fix dents and get a paint job, wheels/tires, and replace all the misc missing parts on the damn car (ie e-brake console, antenna, lip, exhaust bracket, power steering)

Downing Atlanta SuperCharger. The holy grail of easy power for our car...200+hp for an afternoon of work. They claim no kit for the e30, but GRM showed that it can be done. $4500 IIRC.

I would buy an e30

Couldn't have said it better myself, at the risk of starting a flame war. Don't get me wrong, I like the e36. Nice e30s make me spend money!
