Straight outta Germany - Vol 2: E36 Touring

[Dr.AK]

Anyways, some stuff that's happened since the last update:

1. Got the car registered again in April.










2. Went to Lay Low No. 2 in Belgium in May








3. Went to the FnF 6 Premiere Party at the local drive in cinema





4. Cleaned out my wheel housings and discovered I still had about 5mm of thread left and cranked those down.

Before



After



Oh, yeah, you can finally see that Sticker I put on back in 2010.



The 5mm really did the trick and the car came down visibly. It's sitting absolutely perfect now in my eyes.





5. Went to Eurosunday last weekend







And went to a BMW GTG after that.

The new daily isn't a 7 series. It's a E34 5 series :P

You're quite wrong there.

The 5 was sold in March and I'm now rocking a E38 730i as a daily. :P

And Pas, I think I'll order the coils for the 7... maybe next week.

Love your car man awesome thread too! Wish we had wagons over here in the states!

So...

since my rear Dunlops had a tear in the sidewall...



I had them changed yesterday for some Hankook V12 Evos I had in the shed.



Gave the car a good wash today and conditioned all the trim and tires and stuff. Then also drilled holes in my new seasonal plates... Getting them stamped tomorrow so I can finally drive it again as of tomorrow!



And now it's currently sitting there connected to a battery charger since the battery's dead from not being used for so long, heh.






So stoked about finally being able to drive it again soon!

Really nice e36! Looks sick with RF's on it :p

That looks epic

[Dr.AK]

So... did some stuff to get it ready for summer today...

First, I was curious and stuck one of my BBS onto my 5, looks ridiculously dumb with the small tires of the 3, lol!



Then, I adjusted the 3s suspension to how it should be:



And as I was even more curious, I also stuck my BBS Bugattis onto the 3... looks surprisingly good, imho, esp. with it being so meaty flush.







But... it's supposed to be on the RFs, sooo...








Not much left to do, some clean up, new camshaft sensor, and then it's ready for summer... oh and get it re-registered again, this time on seasonal plates from april to september.

[Dr.AK]

Thanks guys!

As you can see here, I got it back home... had some issues with the guy I was sharing the garage space with, and took all my stuff out of there. Set me back a bit, as I haven't been able to really work on it due to the weather (yes, I admit it, I'm a pussy when it comes to this).
