Fun to drive, have an extra car
I have had this car for about 2.5 years. It drives very well-lots of performance & power, but the usual Beemer electrical crap occurs. Repeated problems with the power top and power locks. Got locked out of the trunk a couple of times too.
Fun Ragtop!
Purchased this vehicle for top down springtome fun...it lives up to my expectations. It could have more power but looks awesome even standing still. The E36 body style is still the best looking 3 series made! My second 96 3 (other was a 328ia). These vehicles epitomize what BMW should still be...fun, sporty, stylish cars. The new BMWs (except the Z) seem to look like they're built for old people.

Great fun convertible, endless number of repairs
Owned one for 8 years, 2007-2014 only put 25,000 miles on it, LOVED THE CAR, but every two weeks there was something else that needed repair. If I didn't do the work myself, I would easily have spent $2-$3,000 a year in repairs. Five STARS for fun, One STAR for reliability, net 3 STARS
