Wanted: BMW E36 (non M3)

Looking for a BMW E36 non-M3: 325 or 328, 2 door or 4 door, doesn't matter. Prefer a 325 though. Need a manual trans too. I've looked at a few on the market and with the typical mileage and age of these cars, combined with the prices they're wanting, I'm a bit nervous buying one from a non-enthusiast type.
If anybody knows someone with a decent example for sale, let me know. I'd also be willing to work a trade deal on my M3. Just wanting to switch classes, if I don't find anything I'll likely keep the M3.

No, I gave up. I've been going through the M3 and replacing several things. I pulled the trans and fixed the shifter detents, new clutch, new timing chain tensioners, Vanos rebuild, and getting ready to do a complete cooling system overhaul (waterpump started making noise so I'm just doing it all).

Nice! Plan to stick with the M3 a little longer?
All I've done with the RX-8 over the winter is added engine management. Should have a little more 'grunt' in the low to mid rpm band.
