Just another e36 rollin'

[dinanm3atl]

LOL, im not from stance' works. And it is temporary paint. When i drove down there i didnt even plan on a photo shoot. So it was dirty to boot.

Thanks for all the feedback guys....Dual climate control gets owned by analog all day long.

Good. There you are!



PM me. I want to come get some of that stuff.

[dinanm3atl]

Just curious, does the e36 cluster work? all the gauges?

Yup. It works.

Looks like shit. Seriously, does no one paint their fucking cars anymore?

Car isn't done. Notice there is no keyholes? No A Pillar covers?

Yep. He used the entire E36 wiring harness, iirc. He kept it full OBD-2. Basically, that car is a '96+ M3 re-bodied into an E30. I think that is part of the reason why he went with that dash as well, because everything was set up to work with everything else.

Yup.

You have a lot of faith in the stance monkeys.

And man, is it weird that an e36 dashboard looks older and more dated than an e30 unit? I'm so used to the simpler and cleaner unit that the Ti has that I don't pay much attention to the "standard" e36 piece, but jesus, it looks like something out of an 80's toyota.

Stance Monkeys?

Apparently I am not even stanced and I posted the pictures. And Matt could give a damn about stance. I don't think much of SW even likes me because I express my opinion, not in the manner of 'shopping with your girlfriends'.

Can't even enjoy an e30 w/ S52, ground controls at a proper ride height?


Odd that the 80s toyota actually looks more like e30. I mean look at the 89 Celica dash. Same shape over the cluster minus it is wider with more gauges.






Early 80s definitely looks JUST like an e36...

Ok, I can accept that - though I don't think the rounded lines of the e36 dash work in the e30.

but for God's sake - the paint!!!!!!

sad. really sad.

The paint is what really screws up that car for me. Personally, I prefer the E30 interior, but the E36 looks nice in there and is well done. Put a proper paint job on the car and it would be awesome.

[Jand3rson]

Yours doesn't have rattle-can overlap lines all over it.

[MR 325]

And that rattle-can flat black paint job? Even worse, I can't wait until that trend blows over.

Mine's real Eastwood paint, am i still cool?

[Charlie]

Maybe its just primer, and hasnt got around to painting it..


..... right?

Why go through all that (albeit lousy looking result) work to build a car up, then paint it with that ass-tastic primer/flat black shit? It's a lame look that got played out years ago, and just makes the car look terrible.

I bet that's a blast to drive. I'm phillin the dash.

Jesus Christ R3V is worse than BFC. Car looks awesome. E36 dash is much better looking than the e30.

[ILoveMPower]

Not feeling the roundy dash and wack paint but otherwise sick ass ride!
