Should I buy a '95 325i 5MT as a project/track toy?

I recently traded my 6MT F30 335i in for a F15 X5. The X5 is a great daily, but I'm finding myself wishing I had something a little more nimble that I could drive on weekends/to the track. I also am moving into a new rental property that has a giant workshop/garage and it would be the perfect space to work on an older car.

I found a red 1995 325i manual sedan with around 215k miles. Has had recent maintenance such as water pump, radiator, hoses, driveshaft, and alternator. Clear coat is peeling on the hood/bumpers and roof. Seller is asking $3,500.

Anyone have experience with the E36 chassis and/or the M50B25TU motor? Is this a nice price or crack pipe?
