Ive already told my brother that hes goto get a high mileage one for that price tho.
Anything to look out for on them?

for 750, he'd be better buying a late E30 than a shabby E36.
ebay is probably the best bet.

Earliest E36 I think you can get is a J-reg. I know someone with one, doesn't have aircon or anything special. Does have PAS though.
I'd say rust is a major thing to look out for on all E30's and E36's, especially for your brothers budget. If you can manage to find an SE model, they had a few extras etc - I'm pretty sure they did SE back then.

rear axle mounting brackets crack and snap off.
rust as mentioned especially inner sills.
brake pipes,proper barsteward to change.
