Just a quick one , I`m thinking about looking at a 1995 bmw E36 which looks nice and original (hasn`t been lowered,no spoilers or clear lenses or any of that stuff) ,owner wants €600, NCT just out and it needs a couple of tyres , srs airbag sensor light is on and theres a small hole in exhaust.

Is this a potential money pit or worth a look?

600 euro for a 95 3 series needing that work seems a little bit expensive

Forgot to mention its a 1.6 coupe (which suits me for the tax\insurance) does that make it worth more or less than the €600 ?

It's a 17 year old car, it could be anywhere from an absolute bargain to worthless. Only a look will tell.
