If you stay on top of the maintenance, and figure a grand a year, at least, then an E36 is a good car.
If you neglect it, or buy a neglected one, it can cost an arm, a leg and a spleen to get
reliable again.
Perfect example is the radiator. It's $150. If it pops on the interstate, you now need an
S50/52. And have a car that's not worth any more than my $500 beater 318...
Good for diligent car people, or compulsives. NOT good for those who drive it until it breaks.
