Who here has owned an E36? Would you recommend one?

I am looking for a car that can be fun, reliable and look good. Most of you will say go with something Japanese but I figured I'd run things by the E36 crowd before I ruled it out...

What should I expect out of an E36 3 Series? When I ask this I mean, for problems, fun factor, resale and overall satisfaction. Is it as simple as finding a nice condition 3 Series with all maintenance and service records up to date to have a BMW that is pretty worry free so I don't have to dump more money into it? Or should I expect a higher mileage E36 (100K+) to be a money pit no matter what?

I'm looking to spend $3-6,000 on one... MAX!
