A little background on the car; bought it back in September of 2010 after my boyfriend wrecked his MKV. It was out of necessity as we had a project 16v MK2 that needed a significant amount more work done to it to make it road worthy. We were searching for a few weeks for a budget MK3 GTI or Jetta but all of them trashed in some way, one of which literally was welded and bondo-ed together and was falling apart when we saw it! After weeks of frustrating searches and not having a car my boyfriend had a great idea, why not looking into BMWs? He had one, and said they're bulletproof. We began to look for those, but like the MK3s, it was upset after upset. That is, until we found the gem that we ended up buying.
My E36 was higher mileage then most of the ones we had seen and was a bit out of our price range. After we saw it for the first time, we had to have it!
1998 BMW 328i
183k miles
Ascot Green with a semi recent respray
OEM M3 Body Parts
OEM BMW Lightweight wheels
Lowered on Koni Adjustable Shocks and Eibach Sport Springs
And had a custom Magnaflow exhaust
The car was amazing, the drive home was a breeze. We felt like we were cheating on buying a car that was already built. I still have an itch to go lower and to fill my fenders out better. After hours of research on different BMW forums the Elitist gave me the motivation to blatantly say "Fuck You" to their douchebaggery. I plan to have this car showing at Wuste2011 this year, and hopefully it will reflect the time we will be putting into in the next 5 months!
Plans;
Airride - Already have a quote, currently saving for!
Wheels - Purchased: 18x8 ET44 & 18x9 ET46 Rays Vesta Sebrings in 5x114.3
Adapters - looking in to getting 26mm adapters for the rear not sure about the front yet
Interior - Trying to keep with the tan, classy but aggressive is what I am going for
Body - Subtle mods as the M treatment is already beautiful by itself
Currently my car looks like:
I want it sitting like:
Let me know what you guys think, I am going to have some serious fun modding this with the help of my boyfriend and a few close friends!
