@@ryandelgado6496 You better be counting dude, I said that 2 years ago about my 28i 'Vert and I just spent about $2500 on it just replacing stuff that went bad or was about to go bad, in addition to similarly insane amounts a year ago. That's why I think even though it is kinda cheap to get and modify, when the dual-mass flywheel and clutch goes bad, or the sperr diff goes bad, or the fucking headers leak, you gonna spend CASH if you wanna keep it running right. The pair of o2 sensors alone cost me freakin 400usd (albeit the most quality ones, WITH a discount). I still love it though.

Feel like the e36 is just a good steppingstone into cars and mods just with how cheap and fun they can be, I’ve only just got a 318i but there’s so much to do, there’s turbo kits to make it go alittle quicker and then after that the amount of engines that just fit in this car it’s just a good first proper car cause there’s the element of being able to keep the car but completely change the way it runs, aswell as the m3 parts fitting in pretty much all the other e36 models

@RichardFromageRacing 4 года назад

Do it, I’m on my 3rd one, they’re phenomenal cars. But watch out for rust and cooling system issues. Replace the expansion tank, only use blue coolant unless you like blowing head gaskets, and if the car ever overheats, don’t just limp it home, because you will warp your head. Oh and replace your motor mounts and the fan clutch because if either of those get far enough into disrepair you’re gonna punch a hole in your radiator. I replaced 3 rads and 5 fans before I figured that one out.

For everyone with a broken or only sometimes working sunroof: Take off the steering rack cover, look below left side of the speedometer for a light blue relais in the small relais box(about as big as a gopro session) the less fancy extras your car has, the more likely it is that its the only one there. Take it out, open it, resolder the cracked solder joints on its mainboard, stick it back into the slot and try the sunroof again. Fixed for 0 bucks, and works 100% of the time now.

Bro listen. DO NOT BUY AN E36 UNLESS: - You own a workshop - You are ok with fixing small issues every other week - You are ok with the car not starting when it's cold or raining or snowing or at any other weather except bright sunshine - You want to spend way to much money on a bucket of shit before deciding to sell it because it breaks down WAY too often - You like rusty things - ... - .. - . Trust me, I've owed a e36 323ti Compact and a 325i and both of those are cars that you have to be a mechanic for you to run them properly. Now if you really want one try to buy one with max. 120.000km and search for one without any rust. The most common rust spot are the rear quarter panels and fenders. Sometimes there is also rust under the doors and look for cracked rubber sealings all around the car. But try to buy an e46 because they are much more reliable and in Europe sometimes cheaper than an e36. Good e36 models run for as much as 6k€. They start to appreciate in price again.

you'll love the 318IS, its quicker off the line than a 323, but obviously doesnt make as good noises. however few words of advice. if you run it slammed on wide wheels, you best have a collection of small case diffs, because they fucking hate being low and wide. check the rear trailing arms where they mount to the body, as sometimes those love to rip out while driving. check around/under the sideskirts, as they fucking love to rust there. also, hope you like glovebox and headliner sag, because that's what you're in for. overall, you'll probably find you love the IS, mine is currently on 158k, hasnt been serviced for the past 20k, and still runs like a fucking charm.

Had my e36 m3 for 3 days, bought it from a kid that stanced it and i wasnt really going for that look so i redid the suspension and now i can enjoy the car so much more, i dont have to worry about bottoming out or scraping. The car is too nice to be slammed and cambered and enjoyed alot more when on just some lowering springs

@a55_recomscout42 4 года назад

E36’s are awesome with them being everywhere you can find them in most junkyards making parts cheaper compared to going to the dealer. I picked mine up for $1,000 usd a year ago and since then I’ve done little to no work to it at 199k miles tires, brakes, and general maintenance work. Though I did have the engine harness catch on fire for some reason I still haven’t figured out. New harness and back on the road. These cars are bullet proof perfect first car or someone who doesn’t wanna spend every other weekend working on a car. I’m in modification mode now after all the general maintenance was brought back up to date slammed on Land Rover 18’s, 3” straight pipe sounds amazing on the 2.8l m52. Their just so cheap you can’t go wrong with them. I bought it and everyone told me how much of a nightmare BMW is to work on and how hard they are to maintain. But I’ve yet to see it from this car in the 6k I’ve put on it it gets up and moves fastest I’ve had my stock motor clocked at is 125 which isn’t half bad for a 22 year old car that sat at least a year before I purchased it. But over all it’s been an amazing car and the way I look at it, $1,000 well spent I’m off to body and paint to only have $2,500 into the car after all is said and done. Then it’s off to get another for a rally car

😆 "keep a check on the cooling system" yeah that's true...I replaced my E46 cooling system and it still leaks around the filler cap when it's hot. And yes it's been bled and filled correctly

I know I’m probably going to be one of the few who asks but I’d love to see a so you want a Saab. They’re huge in this area, I have three. Great first cars because they’re turbocharged stock and cheap as hell with a huge online community of enthusiasts. We would all love a video from you guys because there’s some people rocking some crazy setups on their saabs. Rotiform owns the market pretty much but there’s lots of options. So if you see this, PLEASE PLEASE give us the video

@steffschaufler 4 года назад

I didn't look as in-depth as I should have when I bought mine... turned out that the jacking points were rusted through and the guy who sold the e36 just sprayed so much undercoating on it that you wouldn't feel it when checking with your fingertips. Was a real pain to repair because the jacking points vanished into the body the first time i tried to jack it up(which was how i found out about the rust) :/ Real bummer 6/10 experience. Watch out fellas
