I have owned a '86 325es for about 10 years now. Very reliable and easy to get parts, except for the brackets for the front spoiler.
I believe that mine has around 180k miles now, and still runs well. It is getting time to look for its first paint job. The hood is really crazing, the rest of the car still has good paint.
Only one caution. There was a recall for the head bolts a while back, it seems that the original ones have a tendency to break. The original owner of mine obviously didn't get the update, so I ended up doing a head gasket r&r about 5 years ago.
