[Update: 18.09.2023] This post was updatedto take more recent information into account. The BMW E36 is probably one of the most legendary models BMW has ever developed. It almost does not matter if it's a coupe, a convertible, a compact or the practical touring. A layman may probably never come to the classic design that this vehicle is soon to be a classic car. The E36 M3 was far ahead of its time and is still on the racetrack today. But also the other engines of the series offer their advantages. Almost all engines of the E36 range are considered unbreakable. In particular, the six-cylinder often have a mileage of 300.000 Thousand kilometers and more. No wonder then, that even after 36 years the E20 is not indispensable for the autotuning scene.
a legend also in the tuning segment

Especially remaining here is the conversion to a V8 from the big brother, the BMW E34 535 or 540i. However, this is still too little for some tuners, as there are already E36, which also missed twelve-cylinder engines.
