My new DD car non e30 car

[Bimmer_man]

So i picked this car up from my mother it has 175,000 miles on it. Im going to be replacing the shocks, brakes and do the head gasket, and new front seats as well as a cooling system overhaul. It is a blast to drive. I got to say i like the look of the 328is way more than a E36 M3. but thats my opinion. Here are some pics of it.








has warped drilled rotors im replacing them with the ventilated discs


16 inch wheels


interior yes i know its missing a pedal but eh its a dd.


Tool kit thats missing the screw driver

Sweet, I love the e36 328is.

It's a pretty sweet ride dose have a couple of issues but for free I'm not complaining. And man its fun to throw some corners at this thing.

I am thinking of putting Bilstein Sport shocks on the carif you happen to have at 36 with sport Bilsteins feel free to post pictures of it I want to see what the car looks like I like how my car sits right now but the shocks are shot

Get a xbrace, you'll thank me later.

Say no to Bilstein Sports in an E36. They are bouncy and valving is wrong for most street driving. I hate mine and opted for Coil Overs. I have Tein SS-P's but considering a set of GC's at the moment for doing DE days.

Hope the automatic has been serviced or you are looking at a future expense right there. E36 Slushboxes all fail and at no set time. Sealed box's suck. I have a dead one in the driveway that I'm dismantling with my son.

I am not wanting coil overs for the e36 I just need to replace the shocks and struts they are worn out. And I may get a cross brace. I already have a project car, my e30 ix. This just needs to run and if the transmission decides to die then I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I hope it still has 100k left in it.

So when i go over a speed bump the car likes to bottom out on the speed bump. I cant recall if thats a damper issue or a spring or maybe both. i was thinking on just saying fuck it and getting new shocks and springs. Let me know what you think. Please dont suggest coil overs I dont plan on doing that with this car.

replace the shock mounts & rear trailing arm bushings as well

[Bimmer_man]

thanks Kevinl ill get those replaced over time then i didnt even thing about those.

[Chruby99]

what about a set of Koni's

[Bimmer_man]

I've been looking around on those but I don't think I'll get bilstein. So I've been looking at a few others koni's. We will see I've been looking at how the e36 rides on various shocks. I will be getting h&r sport Springs though.

[Bimmer_man]

I dont know what seats these are can someone identify them for me. the are electronic seats non-heated.



and these are tan seats correct?
