My first bimmer! E36 328i coupe :)

[Arborguy 7]

Well I've recently purchased my e36 328i manual coupe. After having a great time with Japanese cars (previously an interface type r and a series 1 rx7) I've made the switch to my first European car and loving it!

Work in progress for my coupe is restoring leather m sport interior to replace my current M sport half leather interior, new suspension setup and making my style 66 wheels fit perfectly .

Sounds like a new and exciting chapter has begun! Good place to start...can't go wrong with 325i's & 328's, Any pics of the E36?

Thought I'd share a couple of photos.

Day I got the car, wheels and the interior I'm going to restore myself over the week or so.

I'll be doing a step by step thread on the restoration process.

Bonus pic. Installing a new gear knob. Previous owner used the strongest glue known to man...

Trade me. Someone in timaru was selling them with good condition 235/45 eagle F1s all round. I got them for $400 including shipping to Auckland!
