Got another E36... Yay!

[DmcL]

Boston Green 96' 4 door 318i SE with M43B18 and 102k on the clock with 3 previous owners. even tho its manual like my first E36 (an M40 318i) its still a step down from the auto 325i i had previously lol but atleast i can put the tail out without fear if it shifting up and trying to kill me lol

have a few subtle plans. Rieger M3 Evo bumper, lowering on stock 15's, red/clear tails, possibly clear side and corner signals. also want yellow glass on the high beams and on the fogs. undecided about angel eyes.

Nice and clean find

[DmcL]

think it needs a chain guide for the timing chain. a tapping sound over 2500rpm has gradually started happening and now happens everytime like clockwork. gonna check it out tomorrow.

nice. it looks clean.

[DmcL]

yea its pretty clean. compared to my 325i i spent alot on it lol £1140. fitted a new headunit yesterday that blends in with the colour of the console.

if she does need a chain guide atleast i got forward warning by a noise and it didnt just go silently and take the engine with it lol had that happen on another car causing lots of bent valves.

Awesome car. My first car was a 1993 BMW 318i in pristine condition. I sold it a year later, i couldnt stand being destroyed by civics and such.

[DmcL]

haha yea it sucks.. i only run cars i know will be close or ill beat. other than that i cruise around normal unless its wet then i just stick the back out lol

classic! I remember back in the day (I was high school), looking at my friend's red BMW 325i, wow .. I drooled. Now, I still love this one ... good luck with the project.

modifications coming soon. just about to start a new job.

so far the only things set in stone are paitn and fit my rieger m3 evo bumper, lower the car and fit a muffler or have one of the middle ones removed and replaced with straight pipe and just stick a chrome tail on the system.

also looking into an HID kit as a local site has a group buy on for them.

Well with that new headunit fitted you can crank it up and you won't have to listen to your ticking sound anymore

That's how you maintain an American car!
