Pros:
-factory assembled, so quality is a fairly well-known commodity
-roomier cockpit
-BMW E36 suspension, so parts are relatively easily sourced
-if it's a small block, you'll have plenty of room to work on the engine
Cons:
-check the header to sidepipe connection... some used a slip-fit with springs/clips, some used bolted flanges
-early SN's had seat belt bolted to roll bar. Later SN's were ran through the back of the cockpit & bolted to the chassis
-early SN's used a gas strut to hold the hood open... later SN's used a prop rod
nothing majorly deficient to the early SN's... just different... personal preference... GOOD LUCK in the hunt!
