Cant say for sure, as I never really kept a close eye on their availability or pricing, but I assume the train of thought has shifted to the future classic status. The owners of the very good ones wont want to move them on, so at best you'll be trying to find a solid one, in need of some work. The majority of E36's all are into the classic insurance, so arent so much of a financial burden for folk to hold onto them.
I'd like a coupe, but wouldnt really suit my needs, so I recently picked up a 323i M Sport Touring (which for most are less desirable than the coupe) with 121k miles, decent spec and in good condition
