Yes, not that costly to fix nowadays. It was actually not that costly 6 years ago either.

It happen on my E46 before, change few hoses which was unnecessary change but at the end notice item 6 from the dia was the damage : http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E.../browse/engine/lubrication_system_oil_filter/

For your E36 maybe u can try check on item 6 from dia : http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E.../browse/engine/lubrication_system_oil_filter/

Hope will help and pls come bck with the result.
