E36 - My 1st BMW

[Mexican]

Audi has been sold, I have no car, and i'm on the lookout for somethin nice and a bit different and special.

So bought these.


and some of these bad boys.


but i have no car. :lol: but it'll be a non VAG riude when it comes along, i can just feel it.

[Mexican]

Bought a blue E36 last night.

so will start on that asap.

[Mexican]

1 day of ownership and few things have changed..









Bosch extra bright Angel Eyes.







Stainless System, Yum..









oh, and height got a play with today!
excuse the hint of RR, but with these 18s, the front touches any lower and arches havent been rolled, so next week's day off will see arches gettin sorted all round.


Sills r level, but arches make it seem lower at the back.

[Zic]

Nice mate.

Don't ruin the car and put those OZ's on

And this ""Sills r level, but arches make it seem lower at the back."" Everyone knows this, thats why you slam the front.

[Kielan]

Best color they made.

ha ha, i know, wasnt making excuses, just sayin so far where i had got to in the 1st day of ownership. lol.

will flatten arches next day off, and get proper tyres on the OZs.

They r stupid, but thats why i like them. only temp until the other wheels r ready!

Best color they made.

Thanx, do like it, like a purple/blue.

oh, and Pics of the wheels which the OZs are temp for.







not sure what colour to do them in, silver or grey. Green was just trial as i had some green laying around.

Fuuuu*k yes then
Looks like its techno, so i would go with
-polished lip, polished center, gold screws and nut, with a black cap that has gold letters.
-polished lip, white center, gold screws and nut, with a black cap / gold letters.
-polished lip, white center, polished screws and nut, black cap / gold letters.
This one takes money, but would look fu*king dope
--polished lip, gold plated center, gold screws and polished nut, black cap / gold letters.

Its either a half nut, or flat cap setup.

Well, thats what i would do. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[iwannabeam3]

I know. i have many choices. right now i'm feelin the classic silver center, gold nuts and thew polished lip.

I have these caps also.



but not sure which will be rocked. i have half caps, only caps i would rock. **** flush and full heights.

grey. no green pleaz. and needs moar low.

yeah, grey is up there, and green is defo not happening, was just for fun.

and yeah, as soon as i swap out these 18s, i'll get more lows. need to tyre up the OZs.

[Mexican]

So agreed with my boy James Oldskool to come round tomorrow and help me out with some bits on the car. Arches should be fully flatted back tomorrow and more lows.

[EThirtySicks]

Good work so far, man. I'm really liking it

[Mexican]

Thanx dude.

Day 3 of ownership and day2 of modifying starts in about half hour. Lol.

[Mexican]

So mega lowering and change of coils to the new ones which arrived real quick happened today.

Will and James Came over to give me a hand. sht got done.








taking the old sht out.


James grinding out all the sealent behind the arches so they can be fully flatted back.


James flatting the arches.




tools needed to be modified.


Will gave his arches a once over.


Fronts all off, waiting for OZs to be tired up and return.


while the OZs returned, 18s went on for some trial runs and rim tuckage all round.






What u all think? Im really quite pleased.


oh, and OZs did make it back.

[benz88]
