Sure happy to help! Don't have E36 experience, just E30 and E46. I don't think you can do the flex disc without at least partially the dropping the exhaust and CSB. The trans output shaft doesn't allow the guibo to just slide out.
Unless imminent failure is obvious, I usually do a "driveshaft service" all at once, trans mounts, flex disc, CSB, leaking trans or diff seals.
Sounds like a great car definitely worth the attention.

The former owner mentioned the vibration seems to come directly underneath the area between the 2 front seats. I will get it up in the air on the lift and let the mechanic check it out.
We need to replace what we think is the belt tensioner either bearing going out, and we will replace the belts and might as well do the water pump even though no leaks, at 136k I am sure it is in its sunset years.
