E36 M3 questions

[Allstar3.8T]

I am looking at getting an E36 M3 sedan as a daily driver. What do I need to look for, or be leary of. I dont mind auto tranny, and prefer (4dr) and I'd like less than 75k miles. What do these cars have issues w/ that I need to know about?
Anyway, who knows these cars,
thx in adv;

You da man, and your car is SICK! Thats the color I want, do you still have the 17" OEM mesh style wheel? All I find on sedans is the 5 spoke, and I done really like it.

waterpump and thermostat housing tend to go bad....

i had the 17inch Double spoke I's on mine. sold them.

the ones that come on the Sedans are either the 5 spoke Contours that normally came on the Lux edition M3's or the Double Spoke II's which came on the sport packages..

you can tell the Sport package Sedans because they wil have the same Sideskirts as mine the Twisty ones..

the Lux edition M3 have plain sideskirts with no twistys

RTABs (rear trailing arm bushings), RSM (rear shock mounts) always need replacing. plastic Waterpump and thermostat out ASAP. Lux M3 has no twistys and ususally has wood :(

Here is my old baby...
