E36 project: Compact vs Sedan chassis?

[gdourado]

Hello, good afternoon,

I have always had a sweet spot for the e36 BMW.
It was the most influential bmw during my teen years and I always liked it.

So I want to get a e36 as a project car while there are still a few on the road and I can get one.

I am just wondering if I should go for a sedan on a compact chassis.

I know the compact is lighter and has a simpler rear suspension setup that makes it more tail happy.

But the sedan is more refined suspension wise and handles better. Also it is easier to get parts for it.

I just don’t know what to go for.
What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
Cheers!

I suppose it depends what you had in mind for the project, road or track?
