Sami's E36 BMW

[savage1987]

so now u wanna trade the vn for a beemer ... why do i bother the beemer was alright ecept for the rattle the death rattle

lol! it's the sunroof control panel you twit. The only death rattle I had was in the VN and that's fixed now
VN will be around for a couple of years yet.

I looked at an E36 318i before I got the liberty, manual with sunroof, 1997 model. It was ok to drive, but god awfully slow

They are a bit.. but you don't buy a 318i for pace

Noice beamer! any interior pics? i cant remember what the int of that model looks like

Will try to take some later on

LS1 Fits?

Don't tempt me. Replace with M3 - much more sensible choice.

Hey... if you want to PM me a list of parts your after and where they would be getting shipepd to... I've already contacted my guy about a handbrake cable to hak... if you want some prices I can get in touch with him again?

Looks very clean mate.

How much are these usually selling for these days?

 

[savage1987]

We picked this one up for $6k. Bit more than we'd have probably liked to pay, but it's a very tidy example with a full service history from a BMW specialist.

 

[Jesterarts]

Picked it up for 6?? Nice work... I paid 5 for mine! lol

Though a year and abit ago now...

Unfortunately, while the stereo joint did a good enough job tuning their system (still not 100% but I dunno how to fix it, I'm an amp noob), they have ****ed a lot of the interior.

This shop has done this to every one of my cars. They left out about 10 screws/bolts, and there are now countless smashed trim clips and loose plastics, every one of which causes a horrendously annoying rattle.

//end rant

Gees, 6 grand. Thats a pretty good price.

Argh, slack careless bastards. I know what its like. We have an 88 Volvo, while its in pretty immaculate condition, when we took it to the mechanic a while back, it came back with loose interior bits and now it squeeks and rattles all the time lol. Hate it. Will fix it up soon.

Update!!!

Haha Sam you're slack with this thread

She got reversed into the other day in a carpark, by some old man in a Daewoo. The damage doesn't look too bad but there's about $900 worth of damage to the driver's side rear wheel arch and rim. Insurance is covering it all though, which is fantastic And on the plus side, as it was BMW vs. Daewoo, there's a hell of a lot more damage to the other car :yeah: serves him right. Can't half tell I'm bitter!

Also, she got a brand spanking new black dash mat to cover a couple of cracks in the dash. As soon as I clean out the interior (which currently resembles the inside of a Macca's rubbish bin crossed with a vending machine... entirely my fault) it will look mint with that dash mat in. Just a minor change, I know, but makes the everyday drive that little bit nicer with the mat in.

As soon at we sell our 19s, she's getting a set of 17s and some lower coilovers sexy!

I have had about 15 bmw's ...320/318/328/325/520/525/528/735/740 just a few..
and they are the BEST cars out there and they drive like a dream.

But my 5.7 Ls1 is the better engine

 

[savage1987]

hahaha
the 5.7 is a good motor, I don't know enough about BMW engines to draw my own conclusions there yet

From what I've experienced, BMWs are indeed fantastic. I won't give up on my VN though.
