E36 M3s are too expensive to buy for what they are most have done intersteller milliage and unsurance is horrific.
I have found a very cheap quote for the roadtster, which is smaller (lighter  ) and rarer, most have been bought as 2nd cars so have done little miles all garaged and they all come fully loaded 
But P1s are far cooler, have more seats a bigger boot and 4wd. Plus that sound.......

Nik im sure they are worth every penny, but im stretching it with a scoob so an evo would be as my bank manager would say "taking the piss" 
Tim i do beleive they all use the same block, 321bhp.

Evo/Scoob/Skyline.......................all great cars, its mainly down to personal preference!
But I personally hate the E36 M3's, I know the E30's and E46's to be much better tho!!

They have so much presence its unreal.
I went in Icemans around windsor on my lunch break, there were people running out of shops gawping 
But that could be cos me and iceman make a pretty sexy duo

I would go for the P1 over an Evo.. better looking
Sounds nicer.. less to service (may not be true though )
heard a lot of bad stories about evo's breaking all the time..
Plus ive pulled a scooby engine out and help pull it apart! they are pretty easy to work with.. just dont ask me to do the timing belt

What about a 22b??? Too much $$$?
Choice is really P1 or the M Roadster
The M is a fuking awsome car and so is the scooby but they are very different.
I say P1 in mint condition that's far off it's rebuild or one that's had one!
