    I had one when I lived in Germany and it was my only car! It didn't leak either! But it was also 6 years old at the time! But this past September, I bought a 25 year old. It's been pampered the entire time! And I bought on the east coast! Now it sits around in my garage waiting for sunny days!

    Nice video! Lots of good points. We’ve had our 99 323i vert for 6 months now. Previous owners had it for 17 years and always kept it garaged, so leather is still great. We keep it under a waterproof car cover and use it as a weekend car. Love having it, never had a convertible before and the e36 chassis makes it so much fun to drive

      That's how it was with mine! The first guy leased it for 3 years, the serving guy has it for 18 years, traded it in on a car for his son, then they dealer kept it indoors as a show piece, only driving it occasionally! Then I bought it!

    i just bought an e36 325i convertible as my first car. I will be doing my first oil change on it tomorrow and going to move up on doing diy maintenance to the point where i feel comfortable to change the soft top

    Good video, was thinking about an E36 M3 convertible but now I’m seriously reconsidering that choice. If I can get it cheap enough I might still but I’m definitely having my doubts after watching this. Thanks!

    Hey man!! Just found your page after I recently acquired a 1994 318i convertible, and have crazy wet interior problems. Can you post a video on the drain points and how to access/ clear them so I can stop this flooding??? Love the page and all the videos you make🙏🏻

    I feel like you just convinced me to get an m240i over z4 m40i as a daily with no garage

    Hey, I'm in NC too btw, 99 e36 323i mine doesn't have the automatic rollover bars that shoot up. What's your opinion on safety if mine were to rollover?. I wouldn't be from my driving which is very safe but a chain reaction or something and me winding up flipped over all of a sudden...thanks

    I'm not getting one as a daily. It's going to be for the weekends or special occasions. It's going to be paid in full.
