E36s everywhere.

Anyone got a cheap runabout? £500 or something near that. Reliable is a bonus.

[NeilP]

Track toy.

Deposit paid. Was super clean and drove well, bit of haggling and it became too good to refuse.

Took the manifold, set of rear lights and throttle body away with me today as well as a fair bit of paperwork.

Fully love the new purchase btw Scott!

[Minuki]

Bargain then dude!

Yeah man, me too! Haven't had a chance to use it properly though.

So, when my 7's got new TÜV (in about 2 weeks) I'll put it up for sale. Fed up with the mileage, ahahaha.

Then it's into a cheapo car for the time being and save up for a 740 that's already converted to LPG.

[NeilP]

Have you seen any replacement 740's Doc?

Also any recommendations for e36 orientated sites (maintenance, dismantling etc)

[Minuki]

bmwforums.info is alright for tech stuff

Max, that scooby was featured in a documentary and the owner didn't even bother to check his lights all worked properly. Says it all.

In other news, I found this whilst going through the paper trail.

Did you guys see the programme on Russia last night? They did a bit on car manufacturers that moved there and lada's, met up with some guys that modify lada's...I've never seen such bad taste, lambo doors, holes in bonnets, body work that had only been primered and looked like plasterseen, one guy said his lada could go over 200mph then did some clutch slipping handbrake skids with the presenter in the car

[P78]

^ no, but i can imagine haha

[Jorge]

who can lend me a few more quid to buy a replacement car?

[Dr.AK]

I'm excited.

Someone just offered me a trade for my 7, that imho is way in my favor.

A '99 328i Touring (automatic) in the exact same color as my 7. Very clean car with lots of new parts from last summer. Also quite a list of options, although not as extensive as my black one.

Just waiting for him to call me back, if all sounds good I want to go through with this.

[P78]

and then?

you have two e36 tourings?

or is the new one better?

swap parts and sell the "old" one

[Dr.AK]

Well, doh. The black one stays as the fun car / retarded stance mobile and the green one as the daily to replace my 7 of course.

[NeilP]

The green is the fast sleeper eh Doc?
