My son and I got our third e36, a 5-speed 1997 318ti late last year. It had damage to the a-pillar, which we have mostly fixed. We still need to glue in the windshield and a few other small tasks. The car is black and was originally an automatic. Since it needed a door, and I don't want to paint anything, I bought a 1996 parts car, same color. It is a California model with a much nicer body, but flood damage. Looking forward to autocross and some mild hot-rodding. We already appreciate the ease of repair under the hood vs our 6-cylinder cars.
