My E36 Coupe

[ignacio]

11-12/2007: Things came to a drastic halt car-wise, due to my layoff. But as a birthday present, my wife bought me a set a Apexcone headlamps (6k HID's) and a new set of fog lights. I also bought myself a front plate delete strip.


From there I went another six months unemployed. That made working on the car close to impossible. I finally found another job May of 2008 so I needed some time to get things back in order. It was also during that time that my A/C developed a MAJOR leak in various hard-to-reach places.

06/2009: A local Euro shop quoted me at $3700 for a new condensor and evaporator coil. I kicked him in the throat and my good friend and I did it ourselves.


I remember people on BF.c complaining about removing the dash... it wasn't that bad.

There's no crazy title to this, as this is no crazy build. But despite its basic look, I love my E36 through and through. I've spent more time with my car lately so I figured its only respectable to put together a thread. So here goes...

08/2007: Purchased the car in all its stock glory. It came with a K&N intake, UUC SSK and Brembo rotors.


I was still going through the sticker phase...


10/2007: First order of business - M3 exhaust, Bilstein Sport's and H&R Sport's.


Still in that sticker phase...


11/2007: Semi-better shots...


... and the houndstooth plaid interior. My (now)wife and I did it ourselves, first time ever doing any upholstery.


More to come!
