I know alot of people dont like Ti's but i do. Probably because jesse (cooljesse76 i think on bf.c) Pretty much got me started modding e30s. And his 332ti is coming along nicely, considering he doenst want to stretch for traction issues
I cant wait to drive it when he finishes. Itll be a beast
Compacts can be very hot - however, imo on a compact M-bumpers are a must. Pretty much the only E36 I would ever only drive when it has M-bumpers. Without the M-Bumpers the compact just looks weird and uncomplete. Also, the rear of the compact imo needs the M-Technic spoiler to look complete, the one my dad has on his:
Woooh, can't wait until saturday!
The 323ti I'm gonna be looking at is absolutely identical to my dad's except for the color, it's Avusblue, and missing the M-Technic spoiler (which is ) and the M3 mirrors (which I'm glad about). And pretty much stock, obviously, but the interior and everything is about the same, exact same options. And I even have the same wheels lying in the garage, haha.
I borrowed a 318ti with the real s50b32 swap (euro that is, since I'm in europe after all ).
It was absolutely ballistic! Didn't overdo it since it wasn't mine, but you really noticed that it weighs less than the "big" e36's. It had e36 m3 front suspension and z3 m coupe rear. Bilstein hillclimb coils and Brembo bbk. I'll see if I can find some pics

save for the euro spec'd s50, thats what jesses is. But i think z3 h&r in the rear instead. or something. lol

They actually weigh the same!
Both are around 1300-1400ks depending on options.
My 320i sedan weighs 1330kg, my dads compact weights 1360kg.
But they do feel lighter, because the weight is placed a bit different. The e30-like rear axle is very fun to drive also. Imo the compact is way more suited for tackling corner than the other E36s, the car just feels so agile.

Indeed you are correct sir. Just like the M coupe/roadster. Not more planted in my opinion, but more fun
