What's the difference

I'M LOOKING at buying an E36 BMW 328i manual coupe. Are there any common problems that affect the car? What are the differences between the 1995 model and the 1997 update?

THE 1997 model was an upgrade of the E36 introduced in 1991. There were two 328i coupes -- the Executive and the High Line. The Executive boasted air, dual airbags, ABS, alloys, CD sound, cruise, alarm, fog lamps, leather wheel and trim, and traction control. The High Line added sports seats. They go through brakes and tyres and can have radiator problems.
