hello every one.
I've been browsing this forum for a long time now and am quite a fan of some the rides on here so thought it was about time to make an intro!
my name is Vlad, i'm 23, originally born in western Ukraine but now live in UK.
i've been into bmw's for last 15 tears and working on them for the last 8! so far i owned over 10 e36's, never owned anything else than an e36
heres how i started off, my first ever car was a 1994 316i coupe that i pretty much built from scratch
mods:
m3 front end
m3 rear end
m3 mirrors
powerflow straight through
clear indicators
full respray
328i front and rear brakes (with trailing agms)
koni springs with bilstein shocks
k&n with a chip
seats and bottom half of the dash retrimmed in white leather with black piping
alpine head unit with inphase speakers all round
Clifford alarm
UUC carbon spoiler.
shnitzer type 3 reps 18
neon gauges (it was cool back then) lol



then i'd bought my first 328i sport, it was an individual finished in glacier green (only 7 registered in uk in that colour) with a very high spec
heres how i bought it in 2006



mods:
m3 lip + bumper grill
ac schnitzer mirrors
bbs style 5s 18x8 front 18x9 rear
first eibach pro springs kit then coilovers
eibach strut brace from US
gruppe m induction kit
big bore throttle body and traction controll and big inlet manifold (m50)
schrick top end cams
remus exhaust
a ridiculous remap!
2.93:1 LSD
ebc ultimax brake discs and ebc red stuff pads all round
was dyno'd at 262bhp at flywheel NA!
santa pod raceway when it ran 14sec flat

heres what it looked like before we parted








then i went through a faze of just buying and selling cars as i couldn't find the right one for me untill i got this







and heres hot it looks today 9 months later








i'll post a few more pics of how it got to this stage
hope you like it
