I owned a 325i last year and I didn't like it very much. The E36 is the biggest POS BMW ever produced. Please read up on the car before you start modifying it. The interior was produced at a time when BMW was attempting to cut cost by using cheaper materials. Suspension parts fail often. The engine is almost maintenance free, bullet proof and nothing feels better than a BMW inline 6! If you need some links with more info I can post them. I love BMWs and Nissans and I must say that the s13 (with a stock sr20) and e30 (325i chipped) are very close in performance. The e30 feels better all around to me. I think in the long run BMWs are more overly engineered than the 240, and are easier and cheaper to extract power and performance from them.

I'm not being a hater, but this (e36) model may not serve you as well as your 240 did. I wish you the best of luck.

BTW I think I have a driver side fog lamp sitting around here. If you want it I just ask that you pay like $10 for shipping.
