Biodegradable wiring and poor interior quality is what I hate the most about E36's. Other than that they are a hoot. Take a lowly 318iS and make it an M3, it's just adding the right pieces. We used to race a shitbox lemons 318is that I had a M50 with a 3L S50 crank in with some hot cams. You wouldn't know the difference on inspection....best cheaty engines to build. The problem is every rat box E36 is now a drift missle bs and that has driven up the prices just like the 10 years ago with E30. I was on great terms with my local dealer and they would let me know when one came in on a trade in. E30/6 trade i these days is non existent as is E46.
