The BMW M3 E36 isn’t as revered as its predecessor, the iconic E30, or the E46 that succeeded it, but this doesn’t mean it’s not a quality sports car.

The issue is finding one in stock condition and good running condition, as by now a great number has either been fiddled with in some way, crashed or has a zillion miles on the odo.

However, this young man managed to locate one fine example; yet, he still encountered some of the typical problems for this M3, better listed by a previous video that showed another owner advice prospective buyers to go for the newer E46 generation, if an affordable M3 is the sole choice.

At the end of the day, having everything sorted out, he figures it eventually paid off to have this 19-year old premium compact sports car developed by BMW‘s M Division as his daily driver.
