1991 - 1999 (E36) (1991 - 1999) The first modern 3 Series, the E36, was the model that paved the way for the 3 Series to be named "Car of the Year" every year since the model was driving off showroom floors. Radically redesigned in 1992, the E36 was not the same 3 Series as the E21 and E30. Larger, less boxy in design, and equipped with a dual overhead cam engine, multilink rear suspension, and a more finished interior, the E36 balances sport with luxury.

my 92 325i i've slowly been restoring 56k warning

When I bought the car I couldn't open the driver door from the inside and the passenger window was off the track, fixed both and they work perfect now. car has 180k miles now and runs like a champ.

things I have done to the car

electric spal fan
metal water pump impeller
bekkers coil over kit with ground control adjustable caster/caster plates
aa track pipe
aa gen III catback
fidanza aluminum flywheel with sache M3 clutch
blacked out tail lights
new headlights and foglights with 5k H.i.Ds in both and orion v2 angel eyes
car is on jack stands now because i had the subframe welded and reinforcement plates installed. I just installed the poly subframe bushings and differential bushings. Now the car has the m3 subframe, m3 3.23 limited slip, m3 rear brakes, and trailing arms. I have a new guibo and new slave cylinder for the ZF trans i'm about to install as well as the new poly mounts with the UUC enforcer cup things haha. I pulled the getrag out because I found out the m3 driveshast wont bolt to it. I'm waiting for the m3 ssk from understeer to come in and I should be good to go.











i forgot to add the m3 front and rear bumper with diffuser and m3 side moldings
