Funny you say that, because the E36 M3 is the only car that's left me stranded (twice at that). But overall, I think mechanically, it's a stout car, much more so than say the S54. I personally view the S52 like the B58, it's not as special as a "real" S engine, but I think they're still great. S52 is more or less bulletproof if you take care of cooling system, sounds good, has great torque.... I'd never call it garbage personally.
Now the interior? That's a completely different story. Debating either selling mine, or start to strip interior
