The performance is incredible, and it has the best mid range torque. The smooth inline 6 combined with one of bmw's famous 5 speed manual gear boxes, and some stop tech brakes makes the car more than I imagined possible.

Amazing road car, great engine, inexpensive to buy, it's a tank. Expensive to maintain, a bit heavy and soft for track use. Easy to drive if you're awake, the LSD is great on track and in the wet. Plenty of room in the back, all necessary amenities, but please don't use it in the winter, it'll be less expensive to buy a beater in the long run.

This car is almost magical. It is balanced, the power delivery is linear, the brakes are wonderful, etc.

I love this car because you feel very young, almost like the time when you first got into the out run game at the fair and thought you were really driving. Performance is fantastic but if you drive hard it drinks hard, very hard. Build quality is very good, it is German after all. I personally like the minimilistic look of the E36 interior but it may not suit everyone. Not as expensive to run as i thought it would be, some parts are expensive but some are suprisingly good value. for me this is deffinately a very fun car to drive but go that little bit too hard and it will bite you!

Wonderful handling, brakes, transmission, acceleration, and all performance characteristics. Nice sporty interior. Good ride for a sports oriented car.
