E36 328i

[Pauldcoc]

Hi,

Just thought I would post up my pictures of my latest purchase, it's an E36 328i. So far I've only fitted an upper strut brace and a new head unit, but I do plan on fitting some 17" wheels (18" look too big), I also plan on having the inlet manifold changed and have some nice new suspension fitted!










I was planning on tracking it, but its really clean and 100% rot free.. so I don't know!

Cheers Paul

looks good! i say dont track it and give it some tlc, agree wheels have to go though.

It needs an M3 front bumper, M3 skirts and rear defuser - drop it a little - and leave it. The E36 has superb lines - far to often ruined by spoilers etc

I love them, still look good today ( I have had 4 )

Track that bh! That's what the E36 deserves these days IMHO!

Artic silver or Titan silver?

Lovely. I love the E36 shape. You're right about 18" wheels. 17" are perfect. Get some proper sport wheels for it, no other wheel looks better on the E36 IMO.

I understand its Artic silver, and such a lovely colour :-)

Thanks for all the comments!

I have just been paid, so will see what I can do this month.

Nice looking coupe Paul. I think with the right drop those wheels could look pretty good. Every time i see an e36 with no spoiler i wish mine didn't have one.

Lovely motor you have there. Beautiful shape - good colour too, nice & tidy.

Lovely, I need an e36 328 as my next car!
How well does it go Paul?

[wiffmaster]

Love these. But I am slightly biased as this is pretty similar to mine!

Get some different wheels on there and fit some uprated suspension and you'll be set. My Sport is on its original Bilstein suspension with 80k miles and still handles like a dream.

I still really like the look of the E36 shape...I just wish mine wasn't the dog that it was!

No. A non-M3 never needs that stuff.

Leave it with the standard bumpers please. PH is not the place for badge pretenders.

Thats a lovely 328. Keep it that way.

The kit was a factory option, no badges required here. Why does it make you a 'badge pretender' if you have the kit without the badges? IMO most E36's need the msport kit to look truely lovely.

Is a 328 Sport pretending to be an M3?

To the OP, nice bimmer.

[Beefmeister]

Right, if he's talking about an M-Sport bumper, fair enough. But he states an M3 bumper and skirts.

[cushT]

I have to agree. The e36 looks a little dated these days, & even more so without the M kit fitted.
An M front bumper is a must imo.

takes all my money due to petrol lol but sure is fun to drive!

[cushT]
