(i.e. linkages & bushings, clutch master / slave cylinder, clutch, flywheel, bearing, lifter fork mount, blah blah etc). Its just that auto gearboxes are less dependable haha.To the OP, most importantly is you test drive the car (bring a friend who is car-savvy), and from there determine which one is in a better condition. And dont limit yourself to just 2 cars. There are plenty out there!Of course do the regular checks whenever you buy 2nd hand. These information are available on google. (Although, the E36 has a rather unique cooling system setup...)</blockquote>
