| 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. |

Keeping Her Alive! First year of VANOS edition.
Old and loving it. My loyal daily driver. I trust this car with, literally, ~550 miles each week.
It's a 1993 sedan, got the car with 135K on the clock a little over a year ago. At first it was a pretty subpar driving experience. Driveshaft coupler looked like a dead animal wrapped around the driveshaft. Rear shocks were godawfully shot Gas-A-Just's. Terrible flashy headunit, minor sings of abuse all over the place, blown speaker or two and so on. Paid $2700 for it. ![]() It is at 170K and drives about three times as good as the day I first sat in it. I absolutely love the car now and will not sell this ever (even though I have a C36 AMG sitting in my drivetrain). Drivetrain: Turner injection chip Driveshaft guibo Fan delete mod New water pump, themostat, radiator, belt328i exhaust Ground control\suspension: Rewelded differential mounts (ripped mine straight out by launching) Bilstein Sports in the front Bilstein HD in the rear 20mm m3 sway bar in the rear Racing Dynamics green springs all around Akebono Euro Ceramic pads Powdercoated style 42s - single piece style Interior: M3 sedan front seats- manual, non-heated Clarion component speakers front and back Blaupunkt London MP48 headunit 15" sub with a Blaupunkt class A\B amp Suede A+C pillars and a black headliner Rechargeable BMW flashlight! Ebay white leather boots Budget short shifter kit with fresh transmission mounts ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

If I wanted something to fit I would drive on the Kontour replicas that I have. They're still silver. But that will change come summer.
