Straight outta Germany - Vol 2: E36 Touring

[Dr.AK]

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.

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.

Always had a soft spot for wagons. I love it

First of all , i love your bmw , it inspired me a while back to get a touring of my own!

Can i ask where you bought the smoked mhw tail lights?

[Dr.AK]

Thanks guys!

René: I bought them used on ebay, can't find them new anymore.


So... just a short update...

Installed some 5mm spacers on the rear some time ago... Looked great, but it proved to rub really bad on big bumps, so I removed them a short while later.





Compressed:





Went to VW Days France like that, cool show













Went to Bimmerfest Europe in Venlo, NL:



Went to the TÜV Tuning Night in Cologne:



Then I stuffed the car full of crap, including a fridge, because I went to BMW Asphaltfieber for a few days. Biggest BMW Show in the world.

















And yesterday I was at DUMPD in Ede, NL. Amazing show!







After DUMPD, I picked up some new goodies for the car...

BMW Individual bolstered leather door cards:





The first step in making my interior nicer.

Going to do some stuff to it over the winter and next year... some much needed maintenance, maybe new coils so I can go lower and wider and maybe some other stuff.

[René Poulsen]

God damn i love your touring
But thanks for the reply , i created my own anyway

[mayhem]

Dumpd was great, love your touring.

Sadly my pic of your car turned out to be useless.

*edit*

Sorry, mistaken you for someone else.

[Dr.AK]

Well, yeah, but that's not me.

[mayhem]

Lmfao, my bad.

[Dr.AK]

Haha, no matter.

And thanks for the compliments on the Touring

[PedroM]

Your Touring continues to be one of the coolest online.

Now I'm living in Germany too, unfortunately, a little to far away from you.
Auerbach, "near" Dresden.

[Dr.AK]

Yeah, that's quite a bit away!


Installed sports seats.

[NeilP]

Seats look good sir!

[Amgcdi]

Nice touring Dr.AK. Good work.
