this is my return to bmws and my 4th e36, i decided to get a 328 sport as a daily run round as running a skyline was costing me too much money, while searching i fell lucky and found the aqua metallic individual that i have now, it has all the m3 bits on it bar the vaider seats.
this was it shortly after i picked it up from the previous owner on my way home, it stayed this standard for roughly a week lol
i purchased some fk coilovers
i also purchased some fake bbs splits but decided against them after i unpacked them
so did a deal with a mate and swapped them for his wheels some cromodora deep dish wheels 8.5x17 et13 so sat perfectly flush on the ride hight i set it for
after running round like this for 2 weeks or so i noticed it was using water and my heaters werent getting hot so spent a sunday trying to find the fault
after hours of checking the head gasket hadnt gone, the water pump was fine and all other water related things where ok we traced it back to the seal on the rad cap being gone so as soon as it pressurised the water system it just blew it out the rad cap, a trip to my local dealer and £15 quid later and i was sorted nice toasty heaters and no water usage
next on my modifications list was an exhaust, i picked up a full system including 6 branch manifold off a mate who works for a company who sell parts mainly for jap cars, it was an absolute mission to fit it to the car and a few nights of stress and big chunks of skin taken out of my knuckles,i have no pictures of this at the moment though.
after fitting my new exhaust i noticed i was getting some slip from my clutch so get a new replacement clutch for the car and a mate of mine donated me a 325 inlet manifold to release some more power
i also decided to despoiler my car for the smoother look
i rolled around this this for around 6 months when i got offered some other wheels cheap so i sold my cromodora's and picked the new ones up but in the mean time was left with this making my car look utter shit in the name of progress
At this point I refused to drive the car looking like this lol, couple of hours passed and I parted with my hard earnt and picked these up for a silly price
8.5x17 on the front and 10x17 on the rear, well worth selling the cromodoras for to buy these epic wheels, well happy now. Next job is m50 inlet and a trip to the body shop to have the paintwork done
