Things to look out for when buying a used e36. First look. 

😂😂😂

Pardon?

What audio

Your dna is the one with chromosomes

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wrong. M50B25TU (Techincal Update) that was made post late 1992 has VANOS. His does not. Hint: No VANOS hump on the intake cam side on the front of the valve cover. Its a dead giveaway and is what you look for to see if it was VANOS or not.

Thats the hose they use to vent the Clothes Drier in your house..lol. Or could be a double insulated stove pipe. Both would work ok butt damn....

I HAD THIS QUESTION TOO

U know he's pushin 450hp outta that N/A non vanos M50.

Where is this button, on the back like trunk or back seat?

Alternators on the inline 6 BMW's are air cooled. Theres ducting from the fan shroud in the front onto the alternator. Not an actual hose tho, more like some plastic ducting.

Top man!

Bmw M3 e46 its been 10 months now. How has it been?

Been a year.. Still nothing?

Bmw M3 e46 has it been good?

is it good

How’d it go

@@qmarq tnx for asking man, bought it. I missed a cracked airflow bit, 58 euros to fix, but other than that, no problems. By now I lowered it, bought some style 32's and I have angel lights ready to go on there

@@LynxStatic yo thats sick! post some clips of it maybe! and are you looking forward to sliding it around in the winter? im scouting myself an e36 for the winter.. right now there's a 320i which has been already lowered and has angel eyes and seems like pretty taken care of. 270k km @ 2.5k euros tho.. BUT it has that LSD diff. so idk. If I decide I wanna get it, I need to do it right now or else it's gonna get sold for sure. there's not many e36's around in solid shape.

@@qmarq sliding around in winter is the same as it is in summer for me haha, hardly any snow here ever. But no, its my daily as well and I like to keep her clean the best I can

@@LynxStatic where ya located at? I see you speak in euros so must be in europe, right? all europe gets snow... at least for a bit haha

From what I understand the nikasil issue affected the m52 engines exclusively. Basically it affected all aluminium block engines from the e36. The m50 like in this car is a cast iron block with an aluminum head. Great point you brought up!

I got you point. Wiki tells that nikasil issue affected M52 as well as M60 engines.

And one more thing: would you prefer M50 to M54 engine with similar displacement and power? My initial impression is that they are almost the same engines with the only difference being double VANOS on M54.

Precisely! They are very similar in terms of their characteristics. M54 maybe because it's a more modern engine but the m50s are pretty bulletproof.

Lol that’s not how it works btw

@@Lidwallymob your brain doesnt work any way at all

Ok? So they still apply to this lol

The alternator in a 36 is cooled by piped water supply from the radiator.

@@michaelopere5424 Water pipe lol, its plastic ducting that supplies air from the front shroud

@@placeholdername3206 I may be wrong,though water always oozes out whenever i disconnect them from my car.

@@michaelopere5424trust me, its an air duct

@@placeholdername3206 does the air flow cool the alternator?
