Buying The Cheapest BMW M3 In The USA Is Our Kind Of Madness
If you spend any time on CT, you’ll know that we take great interest in the brave/concerning car buying decisions of YouTuber Tyler Hoover. After all, they’re usually the kind of cars we’d love to buy but don’t have the guts/contempt for our bank balances to take the plunge.
Now though, we’re more worried about the Hoover’s sanity than ever - having only just bought bought a $7500 850i (yep, the V12 one), he’s gone and bagged the cheapest M3 in the USA. Well, almost: this automatic, E36 convertible is the least expensive non-basket case M3 kicking around, as Hoover explains, before going on a meandering chat about his girlfriend ad the “friend zone.” Don’t worry, it’s relevant, kinda…
The US-spec M3s received a different version of the S50 3.0-litre inline-six, which had a more basic Vanos system, and did without individual throttle bodies. Factoring in a lower compression ratio, these America-bound M3s made only 234bhp and 225lb ft, compared to 282bhp and 236lb ft.
Still, that’s a hell of a lot of car for just $3000, and we’re looking forward to seeing how this latest bargain slice of Bavaria turns out.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

is this Hoovies channel posting all these in disguise? lol
don’t think CT covered so many videos from a single channel
Maybe I am Tyler Hoover.
What’s he going to buy next, I wonder? The cheapest Lamborghini in the United States? It almost seems plausible at this point
But that wouldnt be hooptie material and too expensive. More like the cheapest dodge viper
Well he already bought the cheapest Bentley
AlexKersten Just tagging him for no reason…
😂😂😂
his car wasn’t that bad for the money. could’ve fixed it with another 3000€ which would’ve been worth it. the cheapest e36 m3 here in germany starts at around 15.000€ and is in much worse condition.
850i*
It’s not a 750i Matt Robinson it was an E31 850i
We all know what’s it gonna be like, don’t we?
.. well okay
well great, yet another youtuber sponsored by these laughable “watch brands” . At least we’re getting some content out of it,
Mine was $800 so i win
