I think they are pretty cool cars. My youngest son has an E46 to complement his '68 911 and, I have to say, the M3 is every bit as much fun to drive.
So, I don't know much about these, but I have to ask - did the E36 have the same rear sub frame mount issues that the E46 had? My son told me which series had this problem, and I can't remember if it was the predecessor or successor to the E46.
We fixed this problem on his car. The tub cracks where the rear sub frame mounts. BMW had a recall on it, but apparently is was kind of a half-assed "fix", and you are better off starting without it. Let me tell you, this little repair is not for the faint of heart. If it has not been done, and done properly, it needs to be. This isn't like the IMS bearing thing where a small fraction were affected - this is apparently all of them.
So, again - I dunno if E36's are affected. Please, if anyone knows for sure, let us know.
