BMW E36 328i Touring

Hi guys.


Here is my new restoration project. I was looking for a car for this winter.

So it's a BMW E36 Touring with a 2.8L

She is really in very bad shape, she has been in a forest for 4 years. There were mice inside...

My first goal is to run the engine, the next step will be to fix it all and pass the Swiss expertise

this looks like an insanely epic project haha! lucky you man, looks like serious fun (as well as serious work!!!) cant wait to see updates.

also a tad bit mad the US never got e36 wagons
