moktar 7 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Hey all, As of tuesday i have become the new and very proud owner of a 1995 e36 328I manual. i am the third owner and the last onwer was a lady who had owned for 8.5 years during this lenghty ownership nobody had sat in the back seats i had been looking for a m325i E30 but the E36 was very very convincing. In the future i will be adding midnight express and lowering foreshore nothing too extreme want to keep the ride nice and smooth. the only fault i have come across is that i cant get the radio to cd function there is a stacker and i can hear it shuffling through the disc's but.... nothing. im not too clued up on the e36 so any tips and or hints would be much appreicated.

Neal 540 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Very nice with all the right options. Hints .... If you hop out of the car and have left the windows down you can close the windows from the drivers door lock by turning the key anticlockwise for about 2 -3 seconds and hold it in that position. Any windows left open will close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yours is a genuine Motorsport. it is call me a noob if needs be but i thought that the motorsport had no woodgrain and m-sport wheel and knob? im not very clued up on the e36 quite yet but im getting there.. slowly.

moktar 7 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Yuen, great car - would look even better with my old M Sport wheels on it if you still have them. The CD players are very reliable - simple check is are the CD's in the correct way up after that the chance of repair is marginal as they are now quite old but you can pick working ones uip for $60 to $200 depending on condition Thanks, im quite sure i stacked them up the right way but now ya got me second guessing myself but i mite just replace it once i get sick of george FM (if that is possible). by the way im Miles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 Does it have Traction Control? I can't see the button, it would be the first 328 I have seen without it. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moktar 7 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 not that i know of i havent spotted a button. i dont think that it does beacuse there is no telltale light when ignition is turned on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My pre-facelift 323i foesn't have it, but all the facelift 323i's seem to have it.The more I look at the pics of your car, the sharper it looks Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
