Started to talk to my friend, browse the forums and my old magazines and the next thing you know , I cant get this idea out of my mind. I was planning to upgrade my E30 in a year and upgrade to an E46. Then a friend of mine told me that his friend had just disposed off his E36 328 for about RM40k. I realised it would be better to get a well cared 10 yr old E36 328 for cash than get saddled with a 1000per month hp installment for an E46. Today I drove anor friend's well cared 1995 E36 325 which had done 270k km and boy did I enjoy the test drive from Pg to Sg Petani. Now of course I would prefer a newer E36 ( and therfore would have to be a 328) and one with much lower mileage. What concerns me is that the 328's sold in Malaysia had a 4 speed gearbox which my friends have told me isnt robust enough to handle the 328's torque and thus failed very often. I have also read that the pre 1998 6 cyclinder engines had this Nikasil problem with its lining wearing off as a result of the high sulfur content in the petrol. Anyone care to shed some light on these concerns of mine. Many thanks. PS also wondering what's the asking price for an E36 328 coupe?</p></blockquote><p></p>
