Changed the radiator, water pump, fan clutch at about 100K. Then the fan clutch again abou 150K miles. Window switch failure all except drivers'. Driver seat starting to wear, finally. Computer gets wet above glovebox in the engine compartment. Dealer quoted me $700.00 but I just took out the computer and dried up the moister from rain. Need to replace plastic cover under windshield wipers, will fix problem. One lifter is sticking, but hasn't hurt performance.
The car seems to get better in performance year by year. It starts and runs like a clock, besides the tired lifter knock. I am a very hard driver, everyday, starting and stopping the car at least 10 times a day. I feel like the car never complains. Overall best car that I've purchased.
I have a 93 325i, very fun & quick, not bad interior room either, I have become a 3 series fan for life.
I have a 1993 BMW 325IS. THE REPAIRS YOU DID TO YOURS SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO MINE. I HAVE 141,000 MILES AND SEEMS LIKE ITS RUNNING FINE WITH THE TUNE UP AND WATER PUMP, FAN BLADES AND DRIVING BELT. I ALSO NEED A NEW CLUTCH. keep it clean the e36 is a modifiers dream car. I'm 20 and will keep my e36 untill it falls apart, mabe after that restore it, that's the fun part.
