Couldn't agree more. The last several years have shown the marketing aspect is far more lucrative meaning the M badge exclusivity has been watered down so much that now it doesn't even mean you are getting a true sporting car. Most of the BMW range of cars can be spec'd to M spec meaning rock hard ride and that's about it. A true M car to me are the older versions.

I owned this 328 for 7 years at the early 2000's ... it was my 1st car , it taught me how to grip, drive efficiently, it taught me how to recover in rainy roads right after switching lanes to avoid accident... it taught me whether I should grip or lose grip ... It gave me a lot of lessons .... its more than 10 years away and I'm now on a subaru with everything assisted, I still missed that feeling of being a real driver... being able to communicate..

Now I drive '05 Impreza Wagon as a daily and I have to say that this car feels "analog" and just fun both on track and on gravel roads. But it's still car without TC, cameras, assists etc. Just ABS and AWD. And powersliding with full control over the car is remarkable experience.

The first BMW I ever drove was an E30 320i in the 80s. It was light, sharply styled and a little frisky around the rear end but that engine was a revelation compared to the Fords, Vauxhalls, Volvos, etc. I’d been in up to then. So smooth and revvy, with only nice noises: almost turbine-like. Everything about the car felt solidly engineered to last. It did show me what opposite lock was for after crossing a cattle grid with some power on...

You make a great point on this being a special car, BMW and Mercedes are everyman's cars now that people don't have to save for them. Back then they were special.

Man that 6 cylinder still sounds soo good!

Awesome car, the E36 328i. My first car was a red one and now, in my 40s and after many other very upmarket cars, my daily for the last 4 years has been a manual 328i again. I won't swop it for anything else. It's BMW doing what BMW does best. I cherish it immensely, since I don't think I'll ever be able to replace it...

I have an E36 convertible, it's a late 325i and is very well spect up, I absolutely love it, mine is pretty much factory apart from the tame stainless exhaust and poly bushing, have to admit the duel climate on mine works brilliantly, I also have a full tool kit and the original torch that came with it. 👍

Loved my old Boston 328sport. 10 year owned. This has just brought it all back 👍

Now here's a car I would own. And the review helps encourage that desire. Great job.

I'm sure James would hate my Dad's runaround E36 though - M44 1.9 powered 318ti with M sport package, yup the 'rear-ended, ugly' E36 with 'primitive' rear suspension design that happens to not have the infamous straight 6, and has a different dashboard design (more like the Z3). But doesn't stop me from loving it as it has been serving the family since 1999, full of sentimental value!

Compacts are practical as you say and they're pretty popular for drifting now because of how undesirably cheap they've become. Just have to be careful as they have snappy handling characteristics! Unlike the straight 6 engines, our 4 cylinders are lighter and mounted mostly behind the front axle, so the handling is pretty good.

Wish I still had it.

Had an E30 pre-facelift chromie 325i for 26 years & loved it. great car to work on and fast too :-)

brilliant review - at 19, i managed to persuade my boss to lease me a 318is in 98, i lost the back end twice each time costing about 3k in rear end work.. loved that car

Couldn't agree more. I have driven MANY cars from steam powered, tiller guided examples to modern hybrid supercars and everything in between. But an essex/suffolk back road hoon on a summers eve in an E36 328is is most memorable indeed. Sublime, smooth, comfortable, well poised and such a rewarding drive.

I have an e36 328is and an US spec M3. They are sublime cars. You control everything, it talks you, you talk to it. The NA 6 cylinder engine with a cable actuated throttle is a gem. The size of the car is perfect. I understand fully why people love them.

He touches on a deeper truth here that applies to all cars, not just BMWs. That is: It's more fun to have 200hp that you can USE ALL OF (and a chassis that interacts with you) than 600hp you are constantly having to peg back and a buch of computers deciding everything for you. THAT is where these 90's cars hit the sweet spot - They had ENOUGH of everything (so you could actually use and enjoy everything) but not too much. In modern cars you have more power than you can really use and so much tech it renders the driver's skill and technique largely obsolete. More is not always better. Sometimes less is more.

I wholeheartedly agree, the 90's is the high point in automobiles for enjoyment, fun and useful technology. Maby we could include the late 80's and early 00's too. 90% of my dream/want cars come from that time span.

I had a 328is coupe 1999 in avus blue with the bbs splits and lotus nappa leather, was an auto , superb car.

Fair play and well done on living your dream. Lucky boy.

I’ve had two E36s and I have to agree with you and the owner about the footrest. One of my E36s was a left hand drive M3 3.0 which had a very useable footrest. There is a great deal more room in the left footwell rather than the right. I understand why, but it made so much difference to the driving experience.

Good stuff as ever - think I was on that EVO best drivers car edition - I supplied the Porsche GT3 LHD - V295 HGS for that and the Targa Floria feature in Jan 2001 edition from memory .

Just bought one today...1998 528i convertible in Perth Australia ...my first 3 series ...at 6ft 3 in tall I've always preferred 5 series e39s and e53 X5 ...but looking fwd to summer evening drives in the E36 . ..thanks in part to this excellent review ...

Great video Jay

I totally agree with that comment you say at the beginning of the video about older BMW"s. This shape will always be synonymous with me for their place in Touring Cars. I still think the early 90's M5 will never be equalled for agressive looks.

I used to love the instantaneous fuel economy readout on my old, ex-police E28 528i that wasn't. When you were really having fun on the twisty roads it was very easy to get that down into single figures. The person I bought it from said it was perfectly possible to get it down to 0 mpg, though I never actually managed that. I did get it down to 1.2 mpg once. It's nut hard to see why they were usually switched off or left in a standard readout mode when the police had them...

I had an e46 328i, it too was a fantastic car

One of the things that has seen a end to loads of these is the drifting scene. They drift very well with not a load of money spent.

6:55 - I have that also, but because of the Viper ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ "this is an open top vehicle, drive carefully" "NO" /bakes tyres

Thanks for bringing back some fond memories. Although I never owned a 3 series (used to have a 1991 H reg 520i SE 24 valve), those were back when BMW had great reliability plus a decent build quality. Having worked for a dealership that specialised in used German cars, it was generally accepted that the E36 was for the more exuberant whereas a 5 series (E39?) was for a slightly more affluent class of hooligan 😆. The 2.0 litre straight 6 was regarded as being the smoothest, the 2.8 litre was the most durable. Great cars and fun to drive 👍

Been on the channel for some time,but this is the first time I'm commenting! First, thanks for keeping your reviews as normal & honest as possible - without outlandish quips or comments. I too recall the early days of Clarkson with fondness. As an e46 coupe owner (1 of 4 here in sunny sri lanka), am chuffed you reviewed (what I call) the last era of real BMWs. Thought about e46 330 again, to see how you feel about it now? Keep the good coming. Glad you found your dream car. Thanks!

the most relaible cars where made in the 90's. still love the e 36, a classic e 21 alpina is till the dream for me

I've driven one for over 15 years...... these old ones are anything BUT reliable...... it's costly keeping them running, but when you do it's a lot of fun.

My first RWD car was an E36 318i saloon, about the least desirable model with the 4 pot engine, but it was SO much fun. I ran it for about 2 or 3 years and, although it was not by any means a powerful car, the fun I had with it was immeasurable.

Agree. I had a 318i in the early 00s and it was a fantastic drivers car and not actually being very fast was no problem as you could drive it really hard without going insanely illegal.
