looking for a new DD and see that prices on e36 M3 have plummeted to 5-9k... so question is what to look out for? I can see some have had wheels and interiors swapped with nonM3s so those are off my list .....but what else should i look out for? Common issues?

I DD a 1995 M3. Besides it being clapped out from the PO not taking care of it, it's pretty nice.
Basically, get the nicest one you can afford. 1995/96-99 debate will pop up. Who cares. If you drop a nice dime on one you'll get a good one. Service history, like any car, is a must.
Danny pretty much covered it. Also look for the vanos rumbling. Sounds like marbled being ground around in the top front of the engine.
RTABS too. They'll wear tires like a mother fucker.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

I love my E30, but I wouldn't want to daily it. My E36 was my daily for a couple years and was OK, but I really like my Audi A3 as a winter / hauler / it's really f-ing nice to have a modern luxurious car for times when you just want basic transport.1997 BMW 328ic 5spd sport Moreagrun Metallic

I'm looking at an E36/5 318ti to daily...with an S52, of course :) I've made my E30 a little to hard-core to DD. It's fine for me, but I have to drive suppliers around, and they are not amusedOriginally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.
