    Fuck it. I like E36s. There, I said it. They are a dime a dozen and I don't care, they're great cars and came with some stout engines, even if they only came with single throttles.

    Dig the car, skirts and front valence are kinda faded, I thought they were supposed to be body color in the later E36s?

      it's a 1996, they were unpainted by then. i think they got painted after 96?

      anyways i am getting them body colored next weekend.

          I don't know about Canada, but I'm pretty sure that all 328is models had painted lower valences in the US. I'd check that VIN to make sure someone didn't just swap the badge.

          EDIT: But then again, early models didn't have cupholders.

              Cup holders are overrated. A true driver's car doesn't need them. The E36s I have seen are crap. I hope it's not as bad as them.

                Those aren't side skirts. That's the stupid stone guard paint that BMW used and it always faded out after the car was a year old. I scuffed mine down and painted over it to match the rest of the car ten years ago on my '93 325is.

                  Cool, car. I almost bought a 318ti M last year. Still wish I would have.

                      that's what i thought....and yes the paint is faded on the lower vlance, Skirts, and rear apron.

                      i could still see some of the blue on it.

                        That's probably overspray. What color is the front of the valve cover, gray or black?
