E36 is the best 3 series. E46 and E90 are great too. F30 was the step too far when it comes to size.

Я из 2023 года ебаааать что я тут делаю 🤣🤣🤣

shows dashboard while casually driving at 5.1k rpm

One of the best memories I had from F1CS

The perfect car for all your Steve Soper BTCC fantasies.

DRIFTO For real hold the clutch, move to 2nd and pop it, you'll turn on a dime.

It’s 2021, 30 years later, in hindsight there was no danger of loosing that following! Viva le E36!

Who's watching in 2020?

If only we had six speed manual in the 6 cilinder versions it would be amazing

E36 is the Sport Version of e38

£16565 was a lot of money back in 1991 !

Not a bad snooker player much better then an f1 fan with all his racist comments towards lewis hamilton

ollalllaaahhhhh

I have a 1991 318i automatic (the exact same colour as this one) and it's by far the best car I've ever owned

good family car

Is this an m3 ?

e36 325tds touring 1996 here :) !

ok for the rest of the cons but character?they underestimated e36...so much ahead of its time it was that it looks even better as it ages...from best bmw...

prefer my 1990 e30 318is

Lol I fell asleep half way through

THI IS MY CAR!!

I have an american 1992 325i

this car was solid like the rock ,it's not the same thing now with electronical shit lolll

Great reviewer! 3 e36

Wow, I've never seen the interior when it was still new.

old school never die live ur life with BMW e36 318i

1:40 It's just incredible how clean this thing is... M40B18 motor, brand new... I cannot imagine this, I've always seen them dirty, soaked with oil and grease, with dangling hoses etc...

Thinking of buying a ~96 316. I know it varies hugely between cars but as a rule, am I likely to run into a lot of problems running it?

Still love the looks of those E36's when they're not riced out. But the accident safety statistics here in Sweden were documented to be 20-40% worse than the average car at the time.

my car <3

I've had this car for about 5+ years now and it's still going great after 250,000 kms. Just needs good maintenance but when done properly, it's bulletproof.

as owned of one of this i must say that aftermarket performance make it run great ! low suspension and 225/50/16 tiers make it look and handle awesome !

even for todays standards those cars aren that bad... too bad they all start to rust away, but the engines (m43) are very reliable. The e36-4 316i needs 8 liters of petrol per 100km, and can drive 200km/h. In my opinion very good values for a mid-class car with the smallest engine from 1991/92. Only one very big problem in the e36: electronic problems at the "display" (sorry, i dont know the english word for Instrumentenmkombi), while driving, all "things that display values" (petrol, temperature, speed, rpm of the engine) just stop to work, and start to work again in very different times (1 second to a few minutes). That is a well known issue in the e36-series.

Once bought nice black '95 318i for £50, thrashed it about for a year, then sold for £500 to buy a 540. slow as hell but a great drive

Boot space definitely fine, fitted 40 cans of dogfood for my Rottweilers as well as the rest of the groceries fine. Leg room is fine also.

Not many of those inches have gone into the rear compartment... Uhhhmmm Right...

People saying it's a boring car have never driven one. I own a straight six 325i and it puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it. The suspension, handling, and torque it has, are enough to give you a thrill. It eats up corners.

i have a bmw 318is 1992 coupe , and its faster than 320i i find that very funny

The conclusion is a bit laughable. The e36 was one of the best selling BMW's of all time, and paved the way for the success of the e46 haha.

better e36 318i..take m43 engine..yaa boring but that is the least for poor guy like us.

I remember when my dad first bought this car brand new in 1992, he kept it until 2008 when the new BMW 535d m sport lci E60

I'm planning on buying a 1993 BWM 318is.

I got mine last week! =D 96 328is coupe

sounds nice, actually i like 3-series bmw which look a bit more exclusive than others. i mentioned those guys who make a 316i or 318i looking like a m3 allthough everyone who´s familar with those cars will recognize that something is wrong. Especially if you put a m3 badge and aftermarket shit on it :-D well the only things my 323ti has is a m steering wheel, but no badges, rims, exaust system or anything else. it´s the e36 compact, everyone should know that it was never released as m3 compact^^

i have a bmw e46 convertible facelift with M pack, (318i) all original but the exhaust has changed and the owner has selled the m wheels :(, and now i have black BMW wheels :D its matched really good with my black interior and also the BMW is black, full black, i dont gonna put aftermarket stuff on it except the exhaust because when i drive it it feels like you sit in a BMW M3 lol, its a dark sound not too loud like the other kids cars :/ i am 19 years ol and love BMW but some guys make it ugly!

Jeremy is that you?

Perfect review, exact car I'm looking at on craigslist.

Sadly...

well older bmws are affordable for many young people, that could be a possible reason
