    Added another bimmer to the family collection - non E30

    My future sister-in-law (also my room mate) just bought this beautiful E36:


    Sorry, it was getting dark when I took these.


    It's a 98 323is, 5spd.. cool car. I plan on taking it out for a spin tomorrow. :-)

    Yep, so here at my bro's we now have 6 bimmers on the street and in the yard. Our neighbors love us.
    My dad's last count of bimmers in the yard at home was 13. We have a problem.

    Do you guys think she'll be able to take me in my E21 323? We're gonna have to find that out!

      I agree completely. Needs to be dropped.. and have some rubber added for sure.

                That is a nice lookin e36. If your 323 had atleast a mod or two I would think you could take her.

                  What makes you think that? E21 = 143hp. E36 = 170hp. I know there are other factors but I have a feeling the E36 would take it.

                    Does anyone here happen to know, or can you find out.. how much the e36 weighs?
                    My E21 weighs ~2450.

                      Same thought here. At least it's pretty clean. 323i's are boring though - not much of a top end so acceleration doesn't feel as fun as in eariler 325i's.
                      '98 323is 5spd should weigh ~3075lbs.

                          Wow, I guess she's gonna have to do some custom work to get my e21 Recaros in there.

                          RIGHT?

                            She doesn't seem to think it's much faster than her 88 735, but it's smaller and easier for her to handle. So yeah, she's happy with it.

                              The E36 is a good chassis. She should enjoy it.
                              Im now E30less.
