True, but if you know how to work on them then it's not too bad lol

Nice looking car. You obviously put your heart and soul in it. Good luck with the rest of the project.

mid 90 BMW's are a PITA no matter what.
Only solution is getting a 80's engine which is thirsty as hell or a 2001+ engine which require a shitload of computers to install in an old car.
eitherway, i'd rather stand clear from those machines, also because here in europe, it's 99.99% likely the car is at the virge of breaking down since the last owner (99% turkish/moroccan/wannabe tough guy) has been wrecking it since day 1.
Hope yours brings you better luck than the beamer-owners i know!!

^^ Agreed, it's hard to find e36 M3 that is clean. almost all of them have been owned by retards / tracked / wrecked or something else.
About swapping an S54 ( e46 M3 engine ) on e36 platform, it's not difficult at all. Now days it becomes pretty popular, there is even a kit for it
Ls1 swaps are also common

Got a couple updates. Most of the last week my car spent in the shop. Replacing starter / rear suspension (Bushings, upgraded to adjustable control arms etc.) and some paint work. Top of my rear bumper wasn't shiny anymore, so I decided to repaint it. here is some pics (sorry for the quality, took it with my cell phone):
Work begins:
Rolling into paint booth:
My side skirt cracked after a curb jumped on my way lol, so I was fixing it:
Sanding it:
All covered up:
Now the top looks like this:
