my mates got about 12 of them, best bit about E36's is everything is so straight forward on them.
would always have a 328i over an M3. M3 engine is still big bucks when it goes wrong, where as 328i engines can be picked up for £200. a mate of mine has a M3 GT, engine went at spa, so chucked in a spare 323i lump in a day whilst 3.0 lump is rebuilt. My mate has 12 of the buggers and buys them up off ebay for the engines and parts. that's the beauty of BMW's, so much is interchangeable so you can take all the good bits off an M car and bolt them on to a regular car.
Bung the m50 manifold on it, get a chipped ecu to raise the rev limiter and increase fueling, half descent exhaust and you will be close to 240bhp. chuck a diff in and go have some fun.
Track 328i and some supercharged turbocharged skoda
