I wouldn't suggest u to get 318i now because compare to 325i, market price not much difference and due to the low market value of E36 now, u don't spend a lot on insurance premium. Pay a little more on roadtax and it will never fail to give you a grin.One warning though, the early bimmers do not have stability control devices and it gets pretty backside twitchy in wet curves that causes many inexperience drivers to lost their E36 tails.Abundance of E36 parts in the chop shop and prices comparable to your N13 if not 5 to 10% more. Less electronics compare to the current bimmer, so many parts still can plug and play. Sap sap sui!Some basic maintenance or trouble shooting skills will save u a lot in maintaining a bimmer. The 6-potter maintenance is slightly higher because 1-tong synthetic oil tak cukup, 6 ignition coil and 6 spark plugs, these are routine service replacement item, so cost wise, its a no brainer 50% more expensive. Other parts would be same same as 4-potter i.e. suspension, bushes, ball joints, radiator, cooling system, alternator, starter... in fact some are interchangeable like wiper system, windshields, headlights, body, door assembly etc.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
