E36 for sale on ebay

I've been browsing around at getting an older M3 (E36) and I saw one on ebay for sale by a local person in New Haven. I haven't really had any experience with this car so could anyone give me any pointers on things to look out for on these cars.?

Climate control blinking in and out of function, water pump failures (even the metal impellers should be replaced no less than every 100k), rear shock mount damage, window glitches (when opening and closing doors especially in a coupe), crackling and blown speakers, RTAB's wearing out, e-brake shoes disintegrated inside the rear discs.... I'm sure there are more. bf.c would have much more valuable info and insight.

That's the Lux version, which doesn't include the very bottom front lip, and regular E36 sideskirts. People generally tend to stay away from those for that reason.
