  • Insanely loud, Low BMWe36 build

    Update: Checkout my youtube subscriber giveaway. My short term goal is 2k subs. Not a lot right? Well ill be giving away ~$2000 retail worth of stuff.


    [SIZE="3"]===================INTRO========================== =

    Started out wit a budget of $1000, won a rust free 325is coupe at auction with 100k miles for $870. Didnt know it was an automatic, but I didn't care since eventually id be doing a swap anyway. + I don't really know how to drive manuel(lol).

    Inspiration:





    Know this guy personally, pretty cool dude with a nice car



    Pic from a guy on this website




    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    OK Now to get to my stuff, there are tons of pics I have for inspiration. But ill stop there for now.



    youtube.com/jermainesimpsone36

    Check me out, I have a bunch of cool videos coming out, DiY's, vlogs, simple "how to's" and more. Here are some pics of my car, ill throw them in here and there aswell as a few links.

    Images:
    First day I got her


    First Mod: Raceland ultimos


    Saw a pic of an e36 on sawblades, shortly fell in love. It was short lived because I got bored of them by the time I recieved my spacers in the mail.



    Ended up selling them for $450 , no bad seeing as though I bought them for $230 on craigslist.

    First wheels: Enkei 92


    Fitment:

    Found out there were cracks in them so I ended up trading

    Someone was very interested in the wheels despite their cracks. So this is what I got for them. Straight trade:


    Stance video: lol


    Unsure why, but within a month I got bored of the style 19s and decided I wanted a new look.

    The second trade:

    Traded for borbet type T and style 44s , also ended up finding a set of 17x8 Beyern mesh on craigslist for $50 . #Winning

    Me being somewhat of a wheel whore, I bought a set of "Style 42s" It seemed as if they were legit style 42s but not having much knowledge on them. I kept them for about a week.




    Didn't really like them. So as usual. Decided to make a trade. I think I won again. Found someone who was particularly looking for my wheels. Strangely, They had one of my all time favorite wheels



    Ended up selling my style 44s and beyern mesh wheels. They were taking up too much space. The money is in a secure location as I wait until I find one of my 2 dream wheels. Work Meisters S1 (2 or 3 piece) or Widened Steelies 17x9-10.5 front 17x10.5-12 rear.

    Got a plateless center trim for my m3 bumper from the guy I sold my meshes to.
    #NeedsMoarLow


    Went to a local exhaust shop. "Lous Custom Exhaust"
    Video:


    My future plans are an s52 swap, may keep my 3.91 lsd or get a 4.10.
    I also want to get the "liberty walk / rocket bunny" style wide body.
    I've only had the car for about 10 months lol

        NEW BUT OLD:

        Did my interior sometime during all the wheel bonanza. Very ratchet, DiY, Budget, Sweg
        I got the seats and a lot of interior bits for free. Decided to rattlecan the seats red.
        I have had them rattlecanned for about 4 months and it has not faded or rubbed at all.

              I would have left the plastics on the seat base/back black, or painted them black if they were tan or something. Other than that the red doesn't look bad.

                My shoulders dropped when you said you rattle canned those seats...but then i giggled manly-ly. They look like the make a funny squaek when you move around and must feel weird. pretty funny dude. i would have left the seat control black for contrast though. keep at it

                      diplicolor fabric and vinyl spray, then about 1 can of clearcoat over each seat. took about 4-5 cans of red i think.

                      to prep use alcohol on the seats for any oil. acetone to remove a bit of the luster, then spray away. it was my first time doing anything like that and it didnt come out bad at all and holds up perfectly fine, i wear all white clothes on the seats and ive never had not even a slight rub on them. even in the summer when its parked in the sun

                        thank dude, and its a bit squeaky in the beginning, but after about 2-3 weeks and the paint got a bit more flexible, it feels close to oem. the seats i got were not in good shape though, so its not like i took a great set of seats and ruined em, i ruined a ruined set lol. i might do the rears if i ever keep em. no one ever sits back there anyway.

                        and yeah i covered em with tape but somehow it seeped through

                          i plan on it after i use a pressure washer and pressure wash the entire interior lol. just waiting for the piece to come in the mail so i can attach it to the water hose.

                          is he serious?
                          is he kidding?

                            I don't think you should be taking inspiration for all those BMW's you posted above.
