Has anyone on here got one?
Are they any good and is there anything in particular to look out for when buying one?

Jake, engines the same deal as your e30 of course.

If you are looking up here then its rust really. back arches, sills behind the bodykit, tailgate, nosecone between the bumper and front wings, behind the m-sport mudguards it's bound to have, bottoms of doors. Check it has all the bungs in each side of the floorpan too, supposedly if they are missing it's a rotfest. Most will be leggy and will be stonechip city on the front end. Seen a few with rotten A-posts because of a stonechip gone bad.

Also I have had three e36's with climate and I think it was probably shite from new, takes forever to do anything hot or cold.

I'm still looking for a 328i touring thats not fecked, will be a long wait I think. :(

Its on 18" mv2's and the front has new coilovers (rears came in the boot still in the box)
The coilovers are wound right up and the ride is harsh to say the least.Hoping i can adjust them to make the ride abit better.

All the wheels are pretty much kerbed to feck.So new wheels are something i will be thinking about once the rust blisters are seen to.

Hartge split rims would look ace .
