You can make a 350i and an 818i ?

Make a good track toy. Just strip it out. The interior would be pretty stuffed and moldy I'd imagine!

Hey Guys As i sit here trying to sum up the motivation to go and do some work work on this i though it was about time to start a thread on the 328i. A bit of background on the car, when i was 20 i sold my 318IS manual as i started to want something with a bit more oomph, i still liked the E36 and couldn't quite afford an E39 540. so I decided that a 328I would be the ideal car for me. i was keen on a manual but couldn't find a tidy one within my budget after a few months of looking. i did find a nz new 4 door auto with decent spec, full leather ect for a decent price and in really good nick so i picked it up. Since then i have done quite a bit of the usual maintenance improving on it where i could. The suspension has just about been completely rebuilt with solid rubber bushings, the standard springs, sway bars and shocks have been replaced with factory M-Sport springs and sway bars and Koni Adjusatble shocks. The brakes now sport Brembo blank rotors and EBC red pads. Crank and Cam position sensors have been replaced with genuine new ones. The plugs have just been replaced with the OEM Bosch ones. On the inside i have re-coloured the parcel tray back to black from the purple they all trend to, swapped out the interior lights for LEDs and found an M3 Evo steering wheel for it. The hood linging is falling off more and more by the day now, so will soon be pulled out and re-covered although i am un-decided on something close to the current grey, or to go dark like the M-sport cars. i would love a set of vaders for the front seats too but have not yet found any one willing to part with a set! Now the big one! MANUAL! This weekends mission is the manual conversion. i have been sitting on a ZF box for almost a year and have finaly decided its time to do the swap. at this moment the car is up on axel stands with the interior pulled out and the exhaust and drive shaft spread over the garage! with any luck ill be driving it to work as a manual on monday! but realistically i think ill be done mid next week. once the manual conversion is all done and dusted i have a custom 4 plate LSD center to fit to the current diff. i will likely replace all the diff bearings while i'm at it. ill get some photos of the car once its back on the road, and if there is any thing you want to see while its in pieces ill do my best to get a photo for you!

Have upgraded my tails to the LCI versions, so looking to sell my old ones. They came of my 09 e92 M3 done 35km, they are mint, no chips or scratches, all wiring/ bulbs are fine and work. Can put up pictures, but don't really see the point as if you're buying these you already know what they look like... Looking to get $300 for the full set

An incredibly average way to keep it. Good as a parts donor IMO being left like that.

I don't know if a 818 would even move!

yep have seen and been in it a few times, they dont get much more presentable

Sorted now thanks.

Good to know the new owner won't have to buy any extra ones then Still plenty available, though they're not getting any cheaper

If it's not loaded with rust I'd be wanting to save it.

It also allows you to go balls out around say on a track or wet coner right up to that mechanical grip limit. You can also initiate a slide and it will do a good job of holding it and not letting it oversteer too much. The MK60 is a productionisaed OEM version of the Bosch motorsport unit. certain version can be turned into a full blown motorsport ABS/Traction system. The Georg Plaza 1 series Judd car had this system with bespoke PC software to control the maps and telemetry from the unit. Its also a true stand-alone unit which can be used in other vehicles requiring signal only from source sensors and proxied signals from the DME.

^^I'm sorry you seem to have entered a forum for proper cars by mistake.. While on the subject of headlights, how f**king hard is it to turn the bloody things on when it's dark?? I have lost count of the number of pillocks that have been driving around after dark without their lights on. Some have been in urban areas where there are streetlights, so they can see where they are going, but it still makes it pretty damn hard to see your black car. Even flashed one muppet when I saw he had no lights on, and he just smiled and waved back - jeesh. Do they not wonder why their dashboard is hard to read...

How can you judge any car when you drive a fit? xDxDxD

the new Mini headlights which emit a really strong, super bright blue light at a distance. really distracting. f**k it, might as well just say new Minis. How can you get away with calling something that makes my Fit look tiny, a Mini?

should get the e36's together for a photoshoot sometime or come along to the next months meet. there are sure to be a fair number of e36's

Fkn illegal HID conversions. yes, they do give YOU better light out put yes, they do look cool with instant on yes, they look cool from an angle. stare directly into them for 25 seconds and see if you still think they are cool.

She was trying to flog his wallet because he never paid her. He was holding her nipple and was threatening her to do it again for the same price or I'll tear it off
