Sounds like you got a slightly troubled bimmer....if it's worth it to you to invest in it then I would keep it and fix it up. I'll at least say that it was stand up of you to stick to your word, I'm not sure I would have done that unless most of those issues were disclosed to me prior to the purchase. Good luck, there are a lot of e36 owners on here that will be able to help you out and provide some DIYs.....Amanda...... Welcome to UB!
