The E36 is a wonderful car. 3 months into my ownership, I am very happy with my car. Just save yourself from the heartache of having to virtually rebuild the car as I had to do by buying a car with full service history.  As Lee pointed out, a car this age is bound to have wear and tear and therefore unless you get a car that is well taken care of you may end up with having to go through what I went through. My mistake is that I got carried away with the car's looks and low mileage. Believe it or not my 1995 car had less than 80000km on the odometer when I got it. The car was absolutely stock.....even had the first aid kit box with all the contents intact. Although the service booklet clearly showed that the car was poorly serviced, I overlooked it as I was too excited as i thought i found THE CAR. My mechanic probably shares part of the blame as his pre purchase inspection of my car wasnt through enough. Well hindsight is always 20:20....Good Luck!</blockquote>
