my 318ti i bought a couple weeks ago. the e28 is mine as well, needed a dd with good economy :-)
she's a 96, no options, cloth, bostongrun metallic, po installed a sound system and a gaudy sony deck i replaced with the clarion fz150, fits well in the e36/5 dash
so far, i've repainted the wheels back to the satin black, put yellow fogs in, as it only had one fog light when i purchased it. it's had a lot of cooling system hoses replaced, along with other ancillaries. no tears in any of the seats, only damage is one small cigarette burn in the back seat. amazing for cloth for 200k miles on it
