I am not an A/C system master, but have read up on them a little when I was shopping for an E30 without A/C...
First of all, your E36 uses R12 refrigerant (pg 640-11 from the Bentley manual), but this unnecessary information. Before anything, take your car to an A/C shop and have them flush your system completely, this should be free because they can resell the refrigerant (If not pay you for it). Then do a leak test with a can of dyed r134a using a conversion kit fromyour local autozone/advanced auto/oreilys/etc. Something like this below.

And then most people recommend replacing the expansion valve as well.

Not sure on the accuracy of this information! But good luck! I got lucky with my E36 being R134a!
