I would suggest inspection on all belting, mountings, and bushings and change as necessary. Heck change all if you could! That way can eliminate all pain-in-the-ass noises and creaks.
I assume you would do complete flushing of brake fluids as well. That would do good too.
Just to check what engine are you using? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought all E36 stock engines are using timing chain unless its an M42?

Okay, the chains can go on for another 2 years at least. You can work on the other important bits once you get the car. Remember, the E36 is not exactly a very new car so you'll need to put in some time, effort and money to get it up to shape. But the results will be well worth it, especially when it's a 328i :top:

Brake sensor no need to change. When the light comes on, it will indicate your brake pads are worn out. You can change the brake pads within 1000 km. If not, the brake sensor will touch the steel brake disc and damage it. If it damaged, then you need to replace it.
