The car itself is rather sparse. First year, base car, it's like a German Cavalier. No tilt, cruise, etc. I'm in favor - they are easy and cheap to fix (92's have different struts than the rest of the E36, but you can steal the springs and perches from a salvage yard to update) and drive very well. Plus lots of update options through the E36
But among all the M3 generations, the E90 is our favorite because it was the first (and only) one to use a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 (and eventually a 4.4-liter in the limited GTS model).
An E36 is the most rock-solid, nontemperamental BMW produced to date, in my opinion. Unlike some older models, the fuel-injection system functions flawlessly and isn’t very subject to deterioration with age or use. The wiring of the car is well laid out and protected with insulation that remains flexible, so electrical gremlins aren’t common.

1988 BMW 3-Series (E30) - $3600. BMW. Though prices are on the rise, it's still easy to find a good E30-generation 3-Series for under $5000. That kind of money can get you a ratty 325is, or a four

As a previous E36 owner….no. I dunno, maybe others have had better luck but I’ve owned 5 different generations of BMW and the E36 was by FAR the worst in terms of reliability, and build quality. I’ve never really had any other issues with any of my other cars but the E36 was just constant. XhQxx8.
