how come blunt completely skipped over the e36?

[///MARINE]

I see what you're doing, mentioning all the non-e36 cars that we've "HAD to work on".
Let me remind you that we had to work on your precious e36 M3, too.

Just sayin'

LDSBeaker that is not cool. Before we met, I worked on E21s, E36s, and E46s on my own and with the BMWCCA. I always had my E24 M6 worked on by shops. After we met, I helped you work on your E28 and E30s (which gave me new respect for both platforms) as well as working up the nerve to tear into my E24. I was not implying anything bad about your cars or insinuating that E36s were the new Honda Civic from a reliability standpoint. My point continues to be this: BMW has never built a perfect car; but they have built cars that we all obviously love. Show me a BMW owner who keeps his car past warranty, and I will show you a person who has spent both a lot of time and money to keep his or her car on the road. Conversely, those who ignore maintenance will wonder why expensive repairs result.
