So I posted a question over at Bimmerforums and a member suggested I check this forum out. Looks pretty cool here. Hopefully you folks can give me some insight on these cars.

Seems like the E36 crowd either likes them (not loves) or hates them. Also seems like most people hate the motor, especially the m44. I'm deciding between a '96+ 318 (so the m44 motor) and a Saab 9-3. I already know what I do and don't like about the Saab but finding good info on the 318 has been difficult.

What do you guys think about the car in general? Did the exterior & interior age well? Does it have all the regular BMW creature comforts? Is the M44 really *that* bad? Where do you guys find performance parts for it?
