i just replaced a headgasket yesterday on a e30 325i. the timing belt was the biggest PITA part of it. since you have a e36 you dont need to worry about that aspect... should be relatively painless.
just depends on how comfortable you are with ripping apart 1/2 of the engine bay into its various pieces.

you basically seperate your exhaust and intake manifolds off of your head, and then take off the valve cover, then unbolt the timing chain sprockets, and tensioner and then unbolt the 14 hex bolts and c'est voila! the head comes off.
