Formerly owned by Tyler Hoover from <em>Hoovies Garage<\/em>, the E36 is now only a shadow of its former glory. Fellow YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AgGT59y8uJM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Car Wizard<\/em> <\/a>picked up the mistreated coupe as a debt settlement and decided to thoroughly inspect the car to see whether he can give it a new lease of life. The short answer would have to be \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If a picture is worth a thousand words, this 20-minute video tells you everything you need to know about the rough life this BMW M3 has had. A bit funny if not tragic, the car kept losing parts while Tyler Hoover was driving it to the garage. Despite looking as if it could fall apart at any minute, the wheels are in good condition and worth saving. However, the tires are from 2016 so the M alloys will need some new rubber.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_368470\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-368470\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-368470 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Compact E36 03 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Compact E36 03 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-368470 size-medium\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 Compact E36 03 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-M3-Compact-E36-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 Compact E36 03 830x553\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-368470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not the actual car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s sad to see it in such a horrible shape, with a damaged body, missing trim pieces, and faded paint. As if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, the previous owner used good ol\u2019 plumber\u2019s tape to hold the muffler in place. The signs of rust on the trunk lid are nothing compared to the underside that has been devoured by corrosion. In case you\u2019re curious, the BMW M3 has 148,850 miles even though it looks much worse than the mileage indicates.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a silver lining in all of this, it\u2019s that the cabin is in a somewhat decent condition. That said, the mechanical issues render the car unsafe to use on a public road. Consequently, fixing everything wrong with it doesn\u2019t seem like a smart move. You\u2019d be better off buying a functional BMW M3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/06\/widebody-bmw-e36-air-suspension-video\/\">E36<\/a>.
