    Love the car man, I love the fact that you stuck with the regular front air dam, and not gone with an M3 one. Makes the car look different compared to alot of the other e36s on here.

    As a consequence, I removed the wooden pieces from the interior and thrown in what I considered to be more suitable to my taste.

    New shift knob:






    This think costed me $80 but I can say that it changed the driving sensation completely... These are the best spent 80 bucks IMO... It is shorter than the stock one and weightened to make shifting smoother, and it does. The feel is nice too, I love it!

    New glovebox trim:




    Center console painted flat black to match the rest of the interior:

    After:



    Eeehhhhhhhhhh,

    yeah, if i went coilovers i was just going to go raceland ultimo's and upgrade a lot of my suspension bushing to poly urethane bushings, for a stiffer ride. i've seen people get extremely low on racelands. lower than most go on better coilovers.

    My advice is to choose coilovers..
    Racelands for instance are pretty cheap! I payd $370 + shipping and I am very satisfied with them.
    I'll show you soon what drop they offer
    I am very aware that these particular coilies are not the top notch but they do the job just fine, trust me.. If you track the car then that is something totally different!
    As compared to the springs which, in case what I had were the ebay ones, I didn't like them too much.

    Hey you ever figure out what kind of springs they are?
    I looked at them and there was literally nothing written on them...
    Looked very similar to these...

    Thanks man!!!
    I don't know the previous owner but for sure he is an asshole with no taste in cars; judging from the bulb thing and the JDM exhaust that he mounted on the car.

    M50 manifold is something that i really crave for, hopefuly one day...
