Like what B33m3r has mentioned, once the cooling system been overhauled ie. new parts replaced, it should be good for another 3-5 years, depending on the maintenance schedule. But it's good to set aside some funds just for emergency purpose as E36 are almost 15-20 years old. But normally, provided that the engine is fine, you will only need to look at the cooling system, bushes, suspensions and maybe some electrical, exterior and interior parts.Do try to get a car with proper maintenance records with receipts as proof as it's good to know the history of the car and how well did the previous owners maintained the ride. You will get to know which parts have been replaced, judge the condition and budget your maintenance on parts which are yet to be replaced or requires attention.</blockquote>
