German E36 Touring - The Phoenix

Yes,i could that.Maybe it's still not working after changing the head gasket because the cylinder head is cracked. I will not spend another - let's say 1000 Euro - on repairs.

[Kielan]

Or you could just replace the head gasket?

FML. Actually i was done with the car. I passed the TÜV, got as low as i wanted with some wonderfull wheels on it. I was about to order the leather cover for my seat but then it happened.
Drove a few miles, parked the car and waited for some friends. I stood there for a while until i noticed a small stream of coolant coming out of the car. It stopped after a few seconds so we started. After about 2 miles the engine overheated. A friend of mine then towed the car home. Brought it to my favourite shop and the owner changed the water pump. It was broken so we thought that's it. But no, it's still getting hot. We have no idea since we checked the radiator, the fan and the thermostat. And yes, we bleeded it properly. Conclusion: My head gasket is broken.
Time to part out the Touring and get a 325i Sedan.

I'm already looking for another set of wheels for the next season. not sure what i want. maybe stye 21's or style 20's.
Still need a new leather cover for my driver seat.at the moment it's the stock sport seat with black/blue cloth

Oh dear. I totally forgot to update this thread. So here I go.

Lowered the rear a while ago. It looks like this now:




I also put new speakers into my doors and renewed my rearseat leather cover. Bought a new, original BMW cover from ebay for just 99 Euros (>400Euro at the dealership) and put it on. I like how it came out especially because it was the first time for me. never done anythig like this.

Nice looking E36 touring personally I like the RH's better, listen to the guys ^ slam it in the rear

[K.rischan]

If it's not low enough after lowering it completely i'll definitely do it.

[Zic]

looks great. Tip; you can take out the whole adjuster Assembly.

[K.rischan]

Will do that on sunday, Kielan. But it's not much left. Maybe 5mm.

[Kielan]

If you can go lower in the rear I would. That's a good amount of rake you have there. I'd like to see you bring it as close to level as you can.

[Dr.AK]
