  • project daily ( e36 content) no bags here

    well my boston green e36 died. a couple months back, so after searching around i picked up this 1993 325is, for $2000. it is by no means a perfect car but was well maintained.

    this is it i polished the headlamps yesterday and ground down the numbs that come on oem BMW lamps. the previous owner had fulling tinted tails on the car, thats coll and all but i do live in Taxsachusetts, where you must pass a fairly strict inspection. i swaped the tails with the ones off my BG e36.( now the donor car)

    you can see the blacked out ones on the green car next to it.
    ohh yea the car does have a full coil over suspension. any guesses on what brand? BIG hint its not ebay or race land coil overs either..


    Comments are much appreciated, and more than welcome.

              so today was nice out. i got high performance coils and boots in from bavauto, money well spent i will add not sure of power gains or anything but good buy. considering the coils that where on the motor where 3 bremi and 3 zundspule.

              ohh yea did i mention they where apparently held together with electrical tape.
              this being a 93 the door cards where shot and held together with wood screws(this is more common than i thought it turns out) any how the door cards from the 328 where in good shape so i refreshed them a bit and... the drivers door card should be on tomorrow the people who had this car before me meshed the hell outa the speaker wiring so im screwing with that been rolling with no door card, as i un wood screwed it. i also pulled the side skirts off the 328 then installed my intake setup from the 329 went smoothly had to cut the intake tube a bit to fit the different angles of the m50 setup.
              ohh yea and i made a custom horn bracket there both down there though you cant really tell

                        the black one had some rust on it im going to fix, im also going to make a boser style hood. yea i could realistically go lower at any time,but the road are very bad where i live so i cant go low and drive as a daily. why you don't like the Boston green hood? i have defiantly never seen another e36 with this combo. the trunks will also be swapped so i can fix the rust areas on the black one. i also don't really care for the wing.
