Yes sir. I still have it, it hasn't been in operation for at least 15 years. It's been sitting in a garage. I loved working on that car. They are so easy to work on. I needed a more solid reliable car for work and something just drew me into the e36 328i. It was a 4 doors, silver and just looked soooo good. A good friend of mine had a 325is and it was awesome riding in it, that's when I got hooked to BMW. Other than my daily beater my Prius C (I commute about 60 miles a day total) I've been glued to BMWs, even got the wife hooked.

I'm so jealous of you guys who are good mechanically and can do your own work. Something is broken in my brain, it just isn't there...I can take things apart, no problem. But once they're apart, I'm screwed. I just can't visualize where things go, how they fit back together. Maybe with a great teacher I could learn, but they'd have to have the patience of a saint!

Modern cars are a different story for me. I don't touch them at all, the engine bay is completely full unlike my old Mustang. I pop the hood on my old car and it appears barren, just the basics and you can immediately see everything. I pop the hood on my M2 and i'm like... dang... that's a lot of stuff.

I was actually thinking about restoring it... but man it'll need a new engine, new transmission, have to check the body for rust, will have to convert from drum brakes to disc brakes, add power steering etc. Might be cheaper to buy a classic than to fix it up. It was a nice cruiser though.
