A bit of a butt pucker moment shortly after the 2 minute mark. From another angle:

What caused that lift? It doesn't look like he bounced off anything.

I don't understand why E36s are labeled as the worst 3-series. I think they are the best looking, with the perfect mix of low weight, comfort, and performance.

I think it for a few reasons:

people really liked the styling of the e30 and felt the e36 was not as beautiful a design.

all the bmw's that were released in the 90's seemed to have more quality control issues and they used some plastics that have not aged well.

people feel like the e36 (especially the M3) we got in the states what not a real BMW because they used some lesser parts (plastic vs glass headlights) and were choked by emissions standards (and the m3 motor was different)

All that said I really want an e36. The way they look has really grown on me over the past few years. What I want is an e36 318ti for a daily driver and down the road when I can afford one, and to rebuild the motor, an M3.

I think the 318ti is a nearly perfect daily driver, efficient on fuel for the sake of the bank account, hatchback for storage, rwd and manual for fun. How can you beat that?

Too much grip and a slight bump would be my guess.

I was a hater until I drove my girlfriend's E36 from LA to San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway. So much fun in the twisties.
