Well iv owned this now for roughly 6 years. I have tried to maintain it to the highest standard I can afford. Serviced and maintained with OEM components regardless of cost (within reason) Since owning it I don't think I can list everything I have changed/renewed,the list would be endless. Main bits and bobs.... Full powerflex bushes all round Jamex Coilovers Front-Rear strut braces E46 328i ci discs up front,drilled all round with yellow stuff pads OEM BBS wheels,7.5j fr 8.5j rear simota induction kit Iridium plugs Generic remap Supersprint exhaust I'm a member of a few BMW forums but I thought it was time to join you guys as the E36 in my eyes has become retro and a clean one is a rare sight now days. Could go on forever but il stick a few pics up and you can see for yourselfs how much iv tried to look after my pride and joy  Will be pic heavy as il try to let the pics tell a story ?               |

you got 216hp from a generic remap and some bolt ons (no m50 intake?) thats a pretty outstanding result you know.
thats a really beautiful looking car btw.

No M50 don't want to change the way it drives, have always loved the low down power delivery. Certainly suprises a few people when they find it hasnt got the M50 manifold. I havent got much info on the map as it was done months before i took hold of it some years back now. It has never missed a beat and has been a joy to own and still brings a smile to my face |

Hi. Have I seen you cleaning this car at the end of my road in the, erm, 'Brockley Borders'?

That looks really clean, and that is good power as well. I like the BBS badges in the wheels as well, need some of those for mine but I wasn't willing to pay for them at the time I needed new ones. What are the Jamex coils like as you hear so much about how the cheaper coilovers aren't the best. I have some eBay specials to go on mine eventually, so far they have spent two years in the boot waiting to go on!

Doctor black, that would be me mate although I'm now living out near to biggin hill now. Jamex colies are great for the money, 2 and a bit years hard use now and they are still in great nick. I heard all the stories about cheap coils but I though I might aswell just go for it , never regretted it. I love how it rides on them, firm and flat but still comfortable. Yes people are suprised by how quick it is, even the techs at the dyno where happy to see those numbers on near standard. The map on it is a grey area, I can o ly assume it was a good one at the time and the car has benefitted massively from it. Thanks for positive comments lads |

E36s like that one make me doubt the reign of coolness of the E30. Spot on

That is a totally gorgeous 328, love it. I wish either of mine was in that condition. These cars are brilliant and great to work on. I have my hands dirty today doing the thermostat on the 328 'vert.

Well not much of an update but i thought i would get involved again and say hi The E36 is running as sweet as ever, been getting it ready over the past couple of weekends, taking advantage of the sun to get it ready for the summer months. Done a couple of track days since my last post, drove like a dream although i could do with some better , heavier damping coilovers. Also since i was last on it has benefited from a nice new clutch and some new rubber. Heres a couple of pics how she stands at the moment    |
