Probably the result of no sleep and photoshop, but I got a chuckle out of this.

Cheap Interior!

[scabzzzz]

I like E36 interior :( minus the headliners.

[Massive Lee]

- ill fitting interior
- 6 month lifetime front control arms with rubber encased ball joints
- No paint in the engine bay
- Experimental acrylic paint leading to rust in the trunk
- Tearing/cracking rear subframe pick-up points
- Warping plastic sunroof craddle

But such a great 6 cylinders engine...

[Bob87]

very true ! cheap interior.

[RedHoodRidah]

E36 are only good for a few things. Window switches, Motors and for some the vaders. Other than that E36 is still the bastard child of an e30 and e46.

Welcome to the bitter e30 owner thread.

Plagiarism!!

Changed the rear brake-lines due to rust, on my 316i ´91 a few weeks ago. Only had to change one, but decided to do them both since it was such a bitch doing them.

Had to remove exhaust, drive shaft, heat shield, AND lower the gastank...


Sure, I like the car. It´s economical, and looks kind of nice, but the way things are going, it´s going for sale some time next summer. No AC on a black car in this summer heat is just stupid.


Another reason is the shape of the interior. This car is a good example to show how the E36 has such a poor quality interior. The headliner is hanging almost everywhere, and the doorcards are almost falling apart. Sometime ago, even the manual sunroof stopped working.

Yeah my E36 was a great car short of the sagging headliner everywhere.
