I love the e36
So I've owned multiple e36. From 318s to 325is. Now, finally owning an m3, a supercharged one as well and it is by far the most fun I've ever had in a car. I've had it for a little over a year and a half so far with no major mechanical issues. It did however have a rebuilt engine, vanoss, and so much more. It's worth every penny.- Purchased a Used car

Good Starter
Good overall, a little bit of jump but easy to get used to. Very much worth getting over a '01-'06, less expensive and relatively the same performance, just different styling. Great for the track on weekends, but a must have is upgraded shocks, struts, springs, and anti-roll bars. steering gets soft at times, and becomes unresponsive- Purchased a Used car
