They would not part with their cars, unless under the most extenuating circumstances, so it's harder to find their cars being put up for sale.The e36 model is getting on in age.  So some major work is inevitable.  That said, if you want to be on the safe side, and you have the time and patience, look to buy a car from a Car Lover.  You might pay a little bit more, but you'll save yourself a lot of headache.With the major works done, you can enjoy many more years of ownership pleasure.  Search the net, there are many sources on the typical issues of the e36 and how to resolve them.  It's no japanese car, that's for sure.  But if you persevere, you will understand why so many of us are crazy about the e36 for precisely the same reason.Good luck.</blockquote>
