I sold my 89 M3 in Dec for 51k. He saw it at Cars and Coffee and made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
At the end of the day I don't miss it except that it looked great in my garage. It wasn't fast, didn't corner as well as my 987S and the shifter vibration at 5k RPM was ludicrous as that's how they were from the factory...I know, I was the original owner.
Maybe some day when I see these at 100k and people who have never driven one let alone owned one continue to carry on about these cars as some mystical car I may regret selling it but frankly I would rather have your 968 coupe than the M3 anyway.
The S14 is easy to work on, parts are easy to find but resist the temptation for faux EVO parts or engine mods as they add nothing.
Good luck.

I alms did the E36 M3 swap but had a feeling I would regret it, glad I didn't.
GLWS of your Batmobile.

Thanks. There is plenty of interest so we will see how I do. I have a few friends with similar swaps. The car is faster but never worth as much.

Congrats Raj! Your growing list of cars is making us jealous. 
. I just purchased a 1993 Audi S4 as a winter car. Amazing the options on a car in 1993 and the thing is built like a tank. But is it better than the 968? Definately not in the handling department. But on an icy road it sure is hard to beat. Interesting insight on the E30 M3. I had always liked how they look but I too wondered how they were to drive.
