Just sold mine, year '98 euro spec with 95k miles. Problems are common as on all E36's; sensitive suspension, cooling, sticky
5th gear, climate control display, lousy interior (sqeelin door panels...) On the other hand best bang for the buck if you reliable and fast car. Stock
325's are slower and maintenance and consumption is the same as 328, euro spec M3 cost lot more to maintain and has lot smaller endurance. DIY saves lot of money. Car is as fast as lot's of up to date cars, but mostly far more enjoable to drive. Now I bought V8 E39 and I sure miss handling from my coupe...
