a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 Flew up to Auckland on Saturday morning to pick it up.. big ups to Gus for checking it all out for me beforehand. Nice drive back to Wgtn via New Plymouth over the weekend to get used to the extra power over the 323... which is certainly very noticeable. 80-120 feels instantaneous, easily takes advantage of any overtaking possibility. Plans: first things first, take off the spoiler... not a big fan of them in general and this one is a little weird too. M3 mirrors at some stage if I feel inspired and if I come into some spare cash, might look at swapping the wheels for a set of M Double Spoke Style 135s. Have seen a couple of E36s with different boot lip spoilers (one ACS, one BMW from the E46) that I think do add some style so might look into that later too. Still not convinced about the colour, definitely missing the bostongrün but I guess it'll pass. Anyway on to the pics.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

318is 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 Mate - nice car. I think the 36 is a bloody sexy design. Loose the gay spoiler ( 36'ers don't suit ANY rear spoiler ), and those mags needs a'changin!! Good score - photochop your car and see what you like best, thats whats counts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 438 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 I like the wheels. Is that spoiler a cut down Supra or something, it's awful. Car looks nice though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 That is one helluva hot 36! Just loose the spoiler. The mags like great I reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 I really like that - except, as mentioned, the spoiler - I agree that E36's dont suit spoilers, and they dont need them!! I am asuming its an auto? Still a very tight looking car! :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30stz 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 because those mags are so rare it makes the car so much more unique. I think you should keep them, they look sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah spoiler's going for sure, just sorting out the best way to go about it. I don't mind the wheels but the solid bit in the centre doesn't excite me too much... I've always liked the Style 135 and they do look sweeet on the E36: Aren't that many of those around but I'm still tossing up between those and these two: These just look MEAN Not a great shot but they look great too. M V 72. As much as I like the look without the spoiler, I'm also thinking of getting an E46-style rear lip spoiler - they look quite at home on the E36 too. This isn't the best picture but you get the idea... Also discovered today that it will cost 25c to swap my old personalised plates onto the new car so will do that this week rather than wait for my euro plates to arrive from Germanplates... :cool: Guys from Abtec coming over to put in the Mongoose tomorrow.. damn State Insurance saying that the alarm was part of the car & I couldn't remove it, even though they made no adjustment to the insured value because of it.. damn b*stards. Oh yeah, and the drinks holder I bought for the last one will go in sometime soon too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2005 That black car looks freaking awesome. The black wheels and tinted windows on the lower silver car just look silly to me. Speaking of spoilers, apart from aesthetics, does anyone actually believe they do anything at all in normal driving, other than increase drag and petrol consumption?
