New Auckland member - E36 Compact budget Rally Car

[Statek 87]

Hi guys

I've been skulking on the forums for a while, gathering intel, but haven't posted.

I've been wanting to get into gravel rallying for a little while, and since you can buy E36s on a tight budget, it seemed like a good idea. They're popular in europe, so a ton of info is available. Spare parts are easy to come by (as it's sometimes cheaper to buy a broken E36 than it is to find individual parts).

I bought an automatic '99 318Ti compact for under $1k, and after sorting small issues to get it a WoF, it's still driving. It's even seen a grass autocross and survived!

I also have a frontal damaged 318is manual which is currently being stripped down for parts for the compact. I should probably start a build thread...

Here's a pic for you:

Nice!

Looking forward to the build thread
