Soon after I bought my first and only new BMW, an '04 330i ZHP 6MT, my daughter was getting her license. We located an AW '95 325is for her. I told her she could never sell that car except to me. It was the one where we learned together how to diagnose, repair and maintain cars. Unfortunately a couple of deer strikes later and there was no bringing it back. Fast forward and she is now 30 and on her 4th BMW, but she still says the e36 was her favorite. I've had a few over the years but have kept my e36/7 Z3 3.0i 5MT, I love that chassis and of course the infamous straight 6. Owned since 2008 and just rolled over 60K miles last summer. I'll also add that the 135i N55 DCT is very quick and fun.
